A State Capitol is a building where the legislative branch of a state government meets. It typically houses the offices of the governor and other state officials, as well as chambers for the state legislature, which may include a House of Representatives and a Senate. Each state in the United States has its own Capitol, often located in the state capital city. State Capitols are often architecturally significant, featuring domes, columns, and elaborate designs. They serve as a symbol of state government and democracy, hosting important events and ceremonies. Many State Capitols also offer tours to educate the public about the legislative process and state history.
