The architectural design of the Capitol, rectangular in form, with great windows and high ceilings, follows the traditional pattern of 19th century planning for public buildings. A modified and refined Renaissance style gives the impression of strength and dignity combined with utility.
The commanding feature is the central towering dome constructed of iron and brick and covered with 23 carat gold. The gold leafing was replaced in 1964-1965 at a cost of $79,938. The dome is surmounted by a lookout lantern that may be reached by long and winding stairs, and it terminates in a finial that is 275 feet above the ground floor. The rotunda beneath the dome is 67 feet in diameter. Four smaller domes of simple design rise from the four corners of the Capitol
Built:1871 - 1886

The final photo from this visit to Mexico City.
Each visit to Mexico City we walk to this building but have yet to go inside.
It is Poliforum Siqueiros on Av. de los Insurgentes Sur.
It’s unique architectural design is known for bearing the extensive work of muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros on just about every available surface.
The “Polyforum Theater,” inside, is circular in the ancient Greek style, and the centre hosts frequent art exhibitions and similar events.
Originally part of the World Trade Center complex, today it’s an independent cultural centre.
The building is believed to have been commissioned as a mural in 1960. But by the middle of the decade, it had been re-planned as not just a painting, but as an entire building.
An international team of architects, engineers, painters, sculptors, and acoustics people assembled the project.
Significant political and financial complications involved in the project delayed its final opening until 1971.
David Alfaro Siqueiros was a Mexican social realist painter, best known for his large public murals using the latest in equipment, materials and technique.
Along with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, he was one of the most famous of the "Mexican muralists".
As partly seen here, to many the design of the Central Library in Halifax, Nova Scotia, resembles a pile of books.
This stunning building housing the Antwerp Port Authority, is a remarkable work of architecture designed by British/Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. The lower part was a disused fire station.
The building is meant to "symbolise the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative nature" of the Port of Antwerp (Wikipedia).
