EL Capitolio (also known as Capitolio Nacional) is a building in the Cuban capital of Havana. The building was the seat of the Cuban government until the Cuban Revolution. Currently, the Cuban Academy of Sciences is located in the building. The building was designed by the architects Raúl Otero and Eugenio Raynieri. The design was clearly inspired by the American Capitol, which was also built in the Renaissance style. Part of the building is open to tourists. History
