Minnesota State Capitol

The building was modeled after Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. The unsupported marble dome is the second largest in the world, after Saint Peter's. Construction of the building was completed in 1905.

A large star, symbolizing Minnesota's motto, "The Star of the North", is directly beneath the apex of the dome in the rotunda.
