Contrary to uninformed opinion, the Cuban Capitol is not "styled" after the national capitol of the United States, as any person with an architectural education and knowledge of both buildings can see plainly. This opinion has been publicized partly by pro-Castro writers, interested in showing the Cuban republic (1902-1958) as a pseudo colony of the United States.
It's been also helped by the lack of understanding of how neo-classical architecture is designed and how it works. A good example is particularly an architectural historian as Roberto Segre, totally lacking sensibility for classical architecture.
As with buildings of similar function and style, there are some formal similarities; both buildings have a cupola, both have a big main stair... The similarities cease there. The interior layout, the disposition and symbolism of the spaces, the proportions are different. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgarch (talk • contribs) on 22:13, 22 September 2006
[edit] Page name
Should it really be El Capitolio - why not just Capitolio ? -- Beardo 23:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's referred to English as either, so I couldn't see the point of changing it Yomanganitalk 00:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

- Because the Manual of Style encourages us not to use the definite article in page names unless necessary. -- Beardo 13:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

- I'm not sure that really applies here. I would think that guideline is there to prevent us having half the articles starting with "The" and the other half not and we aren't considering calling it either The El Capitolio or The Capitolio. I don't object to moving it, but can't see the point as the redirect will still be required. I think El Templete and La Cabaña fall into the same category. Yomanganitalk 00:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
