The current State Capitol was dedicated on December 8, 1966. It is built in New Mexico Territorial style, which is an adaptation of Greek revival and Pueblo adobe architecture. The building forms the Zia sun symbol.
The American bald eagle shielding the smaller Mexican eagle within its wings symbolizes New Mexico's change of sovereignty in 1846. The scroll below the eagles contains the motto "Crescit Eindo", the Latin for "It grows as it goes". The date 1912 was added when New Mexico was admitted as the 47th state.
This church was built by Tlaxcalan Indians from Mexico in the early 1600s.
