Colorado State Capitol 🏛️✨(2)
The exterior walls are crafted from gray granite sourced near Gunnison, Colorado, while the interior boasts an abundance of rare Colorado Rose Onyx marble, found exclusively in Beulah and now extinct. 🌄🪨 Inside, the Capitol is richly decorated, featuring stained-glass windows depicting historical figures and events from Colorado's past, as well as a portrait gallery of U.S. presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden. 🖼️ 👨💼 The main entrance hall soars to an impressive 180 feet (approximately 55 meters), equivalent to an 18-story building, exuding grandeur and awe. 🚪🏙️ 📸During our free guided tour, we even witnessed a newlywed couple taking their wedding photos here—a testament to the Capitol's timeless beauty and significance. 👰♀️🤵♂️ #Denver #DenverTourism #DenverTravel #DenverNuggets
