DISCOVER AN ART SECRET
Built in 1966 and inspired by the Zia sun symbol, the New Mexico State Capitol (call 505/986-4589 for hours) is more reminiscent of a kiva than some classical landmark. Nicknamed the Roundhouse, it's also home to one of Santa Fe's best (and overlooked) collections of works by contemporary New Mexico artists, with pieces displayed on four levels as well as on the grounds and in the new Capitol North building.
