Saint Paul is a large city that has been the capital of the state of Minnesota since 1849, when the legislature of the newly established Minnesota Territory decided to establish the capital close to a Dakota Sioux settlement in the area along the Mississippi River. However, it was decided to move the capital to Saint Peter in 1857, but when Joe Rolette disappeared with the documents of the passed bill, the decision was not implemented, and Saint Paul maintained its status.
Today, Saint Paul’s skyline is defined by the modern high-rise buildings that were mainly built in the city from the 1970s. There are several sights in the city, where you can, for example, take a walk from Rice Park and Landmark Plaza. Here you can see the Landmark Center, which was opened in the Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1902 as a post office, courthouse and customs house for Minnesota. Close by is the Mississippi and the Science Museum of Minnesota, one of the city’s many museums. Others include The Goldstein Museum of Design, the Minnesota Museum of American Art, and the Minnesota History Center, housed in an architecturally intriguing building from 1992.
The Cathedral of Saint Paul is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul-Minneapolis. It is one of the most famous cathedrals in the United States for its architecture and its beautiful location on Cathedral Hill overlooking downtown Saint Paul. It was Emmanuel Louis Masqueray who designed the cathedral in beaux-arts, and it was completed in 1915. At the cathedral, you can walk along Summit Avenue, which is known as America’s longest street with Victorian buildings. On a stroll here, you can see many fine examples of houses in, for example, the Queen Anne style and several almost castle-like buildings such as the James J. Hill House and the Frank B. Kellogg House.
As the US state capital, Saint Paul also has a State Capitol. It is located northwest of downtown. The Minnesota State Capitol was designed by the architect Cass Gilbert and completed in 1905. There are many beautiful details in the decoration of the Capitol, such as in the rotunda and in the dome of the building. You can also see the sculpture group named The Progress of the State above the southern main entrance. You can visit the city’s town hall, Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse, which is a beautiful and stylish art deco skyscraper from 1932. In the town hall you can see Carl Milles’ 11-meter-high sculpture Vision of Peace.
You can visit the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory as well, located around Lake Como. The city government acquired the area in 1873 to create a public park, and today there is a zoo, an amusement park, a golf course and a conservatory in the park. Buildings include the Zoological Building from 1936, which was built in contemporary art deco, and the large Marjorie McNeely Conservatory greenhouse. As part of the city’s parks, there is free entry to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory.
Minneapolis is the largest city in the US state of Minnesota, and it is known together with the neighboring city as the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. In 1819, the US Army established Fort Snelling in the area, and from the middle of the 1800s, settlers from not least Scandinavia and Germany came here, and the Minnesota Territorial Legislature approved the establishment of Minneapolis in 1856.
In 1867, Minneapolis formally became a city, and five years later the city of Saint Anthony on the east side of the Mississippi was merged with Minneapolis. The city’s growth was not least due to large mills that utilized the St Anthony Falls for energy production, and which served the agriculture and grain producers of western Minnesota and North Dakota.
