The Cabildo in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, is a historic building located at Jackson Square, adjacent to St. Louis Cathedral. Constructed between 1795 and 1799 to replace the building destroyed in the Great New Orleans Fire, it served as the seat of the Spanish colonial government. This iconic structure is renowned for its architectural beauty and historical significance. Notably, it was where the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremonies took place in 1803, effectively doubling the size of the United States.
