The medieval castle in Baton Rouge

This is the old state capitol building in Baton Rouge, LA.  It sits on a bluff overlooking the mighty Mississippi River and is now the Museum of Political History.  I was in town on business and had a little extra time to shoot (which is always nice).  I was down in this area looking for the site of my meetings for the next day, and once I saw this I knew I wanted to stop and get a closer look.  It is pretty impressive.  I have been to Baton Rouge many times, having family there and all, and never remember seeing this before.  The metal sculpture you see going across the lawn is a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC.
