The most visited man-made tourist attraction in the state of Colorado, USA, is the stunning Air Force Academy Chapel that is easily identified by its 17 steel, aluminum and glass spires that soar 150 feet (46 meters) into the sky at Colorado Springs. This classic example of American modern architecture opened in 1962 to meet the spiritual needs of cadets during their undergraduate education at the academy to become officers in the United States Air Force. Normally open daily for visitors, the chapel closed to the public in 2019 for major renovations that will take 3 to 4 years to complete
