Subject: capital building
Что значит capital building, подскажите, please.

The town was barely a mile from one end to the other and jammed with sombre limestone monuments: the City Hall once intended as the country`s capital building, the Catholic cathedrals, the Masonic Lodge...

У меня был вариант "одно из самых значительных зданий страны". Подходит?

Вот что пишет Википедия:

Capitol (or Capital Building - мое прим.) is the name generally given in the United States to the building in which the executive and/or legislative branches of local or national government are housed.
