🇺🇸 Day 1 in Minnesota: The State Capitol – So Worth It! 🏛️✨

Drove from Rochester to St. Paul today and visited the Minnesota State Capitol — and wow, it did not disappoint! 😍 Completed in 1905, it’s known as one of the five most beautiful capitol buildings in the U.S. Its dome is the second-largest unsupported marble dome in the country (only after the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.!). Inside, the decor is absolutely stunning — filled with intricate mosaics, gold leaf 🎨, Minnesota granite, Italian marble, and historic murals with classic quotes inscribed throughout. So grand and majestic! ✨ You can even see the original Senate and House chambers, and the public is welcome to sit in on sessions. What’s more — the building houses the Governor’s Office, Senate, House, and Supreme Court… and get this — no reservation is needed! You can walk in freely 🚶‍♀️, and even use the meeting rooms and reception halls for free. Hard to imagine something like this back home! 🎉 Feeling blessed and inspired. Thanks God! 🙏❤️ #Minnesota #StateCapitol #StPaul #TravelUSA #ArchitectureLover #History #FreeTour
