Denver is the capital of the American state of Colorado, founded during the Wild West and nicknamed the City at a Mile Height. In the old quarter of Larimer Square, buildings of the 19th century have been preserved. Popular with tourists is the ultra-modern Denver Art Museum, which displays works of art of the indigenous peoples of America, and the famous Molly Brown mansion, which managed to survive after the sinking of the Titanic. From Denver, many tourists go further – to ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains.
