About Capitol Complex

Welcome to the Capitol Complex, Chandigarh!

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this architectural marvel is the brainchild of Le Corbusier, the renowned architect. Built in the 1950s, it represents Chandigarh's role as the capital of Punjab and Haryana.

Imagine a vast expanse housing three iconic buildings:

  • The Secretariat: A towering structure symbolizing administrative power.

  • The High Court: Where justice is served.

  • The Legislative Assembly: Where laws are made.

Don't miss the Open Hand Monument, a massive sculpture symbolizing peace and unity – it's a true photo opportunity!

Fun Fact: Le Corbusier designed the complex with the intention of creating a symbol of a new, independent India. Today, the area faces issues related to its upkeep.
