El Capitolio, or National Capitol Building in Havana, Cuba, was the seat of government in Cuba until after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, and is now home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences. "El Capitolio" has a size of 208 by 92 m. Its design is compared to that of the United States Capitol, but is not a replica of it. It's a meter higher, a meter wider, and a meter longer ;-)) Completed in 1929, it was the tallest building in Havana until the 1950s and houses the world's third largest indoor statue.
The Government of Cuba has now restored the building for use once again as the home of Cuba's National Assembly.
