NEW JERSEY STATE CAPITOL

 New Jersey’s capitol is the most historic building in NJ state. The term “State House” harkens back to the time of its origination and remains as its popular name. THE STATE HOUSE is located in the heart of New Jersey's capital city, Trenton, situated on a bank of the Delaware River. This gilt-domed building, constructed in 1889. Second oldest capitol in continuous use in the U.S. (Maryland has the oldest), houses the NJ executive and legislative branches since 1792. For more than 200 years, New Jersey Senators, Assemblymen, and Governors have been making the laws of the state in this building. Today the State House continues to serve New Jersey as both a historical monument and a place of work. It's located in a beautiful area and holds so much of the state's history. And both the interior and exterior design and architecture of the building are absolutely jaw-dropping.

  2. Widok na miasto i rzekę jest ciekawy, a do tego dochodzi ten skos z napisem - wszystko jak najbardziej na plus. W oczy rzuca się też ta złota kopuła :)
