Secretariat Building is a Le Corbusier-designed government building built in 1953 in India. This very large building 254 meters long and 42 meters high houses the ministerial chambers and all ministerial agencies. The Ministries are grouped in a central pavilion, Block 4, one of the six ministerial blocks, each separated from the next by a vertical expansion joint extending the full height of the building, located inside the Chandigarh Capitol Complex which comprises three buildings and three monuments: the Secretariat building, Legislative Assembly building and High Court building, Open Hand Monument, Geometric Hill and Tower of Shadows.
In July 2016, the building and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
