Capitol Building Picture

Capitol Building Picture

View of the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building, which faces the National Mall.

You will see the inside of the Capitol Dome, if you take the Capitol Building tour.

At the top of the Capitol Dome sits the Statue of Freedom.

Capitol Grounds

Originally a woods, the Capitol Building grounds now provide a park-like setting for the building.

The grounds immediately surrounding the Capitol Building are bordered by a stone wall and cover an area of 58 acres. Over 100 varieties of trees and bushes are planted around the Capitol and thousands of flowers are used in seasonal displays.

In contrast to the Capitol Building's straight, neoclassical lines, most of the walkways on the grounds are curved. Benches along the paths offer pleasant spots for visitors to enjoy the building and its landscape.
