Puerto Rico State House

The Puerto Rico State House, popularly known as the Capitol of Puerto Rico, is a picturesque and significant building located in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico. This Beaux-Arts style building, constructed in the 1920s, serves as the center of legislative activities for the U.S. territory, housing both chambers of the Legislative Assembly including the House of Representatives and Senate. The white marble structure with its stunning, green dome stands impressively against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, and holds within it murals that narratively depict the island’s rich history. It represents a symbol of governance and heritage for the Puerto Rican people.
