Capitolio Nacional

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:04:53

On the southern side of the plaza stands this neoclassical seat of Congress. It was begun in 1847, but due to numerous political uprisings was not completed until 1926. Its square-facing facade was built by English architect Thomas Reed. To visit, call ahead; otherwise you can wander around the stone courtyard.
