The Capitol Complex

About The Capitol Complex

Officially conferred world heritage status by UNESCO, the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh is recognized all around the world today. The second monument on our list to be designed by the great Le Corbusier, the Capitol tends to draw in as many people as the Open Hand Monument. More than a 100-acre area spread, the dreamy backdrop of the Shivalik Hills all add to the beauty of this breathtaking monument.

Designed as the seat of the government, the Capitol Complex is a sprawling architectural ensemble that includes the Legislative Assembly, the Secretariat, and the High Court buildings. The Capitol Complex reflects Le Corbusier's vision of a functional and harmonious city. It is a symbol of Chandigarh's modernist architectural movement and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Le Corbusier and his indelible impact on the city beautiful. The complex is known for its monumental structures, geometric patterns, and tranquil open spaces. The well-manicured lawns, open spaces, and serene surroundings just add to the charm of this magnificent complex.
