Main Building (Golden Dome)

Main Building (Golden Dome) is at the heart of the University of Notre Dame campus. The magnificent dome is surmounted by a statue of the Virgin Mary. The murals depicting the life of Christopher Columbus are the work of Luigi Gregori, a Vatican artist who spent 17 years at Notre Dame. A $58 million renovation has restored the five-story Victorian building's woodwork, lighting fixtures and walls.

Guided tours are available.
