Concordia Hall is the main building of the Aloian legislative complex on Senate Hill, in Zumbrota, containing the High Council and Senate chambers, as well as the offices of a number of councillors, senators, and senior administration for both legislative houses. It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor, the Memorial Chapel, and Unity Hall.
Built in the Gothic Revival style, the present Concordia Hall is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916; all that remains of the original building is the Library of the Senate, at the rear of Concordia. Though construction began immediately after the blaze, sculpting work on the interior continued through the 1970s. One of the most recognizable buildings in Aloia, Concordia is depicted on Aloian currency, including the $10 bill (the Library of the Senate), $20 bill (the Peace Tower), and the $50 bill.
