28 Université de Saint-Boniface Dome in Winnipeg, Canada

This magnificent silver dome crowns the main campus building of the Université de Saint-Boniface. This French university was the first educational institution in Western Canada when it was founded in 1818 by Father Norbert Provencher. One of its graduates, Louis Riel, established the Manitoba province. Ironically, a law was passed in 1890 blocking French schools. However, the Catholic Franco-Manitobans continued to operate as a private university.
