The Missouri State Capitol is an elegant and imposing structure that is the focal point of the state’s politics and law. The building, recognizable by its grand columns and tall dome, contains the executive and legislative branches of Missouri as well as a vast array of art. Snap photos of the iconic structure and consider its importance to the state. Gaze up at the spectacular dome, which is 262 feet (80 meters) high. It is crowned by a bronze statue of the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres. The dome rises above the skyline, cementing its position as Jefferson City’s most well-known symbol. Admire the eight pillars that hoist the pediment at the front of the building. A large bronze door hides behind the columns, which measure 48 feet (15 meters) in height. Enter the building and embark on a 45-minute guided tour for a comprehensive overview. Inspect the array of art, which includes stained glass, frescoes and statues that reflect the history and culture of Missouri. Learn about the state’s rich history in the Missouri State Museum on the first floor. Enter the Whispering Gallery to inspect its optical illusions. Climb to the top of the dome for a panoramic view of the city. Stroll around to the back of the building and enjoy the views of the Missouri River. Eat a picnic lunch as you watch the river flow. The building was constructed in 1917, having been designed by the New York architecture company Tracy and Swartwout. Take a free guided tour of the building, which is open to the public daily from morning until late afternoon. The Missouri State Capitol is on the southern bank of the Missouri River in Jefferson City. Take the train to the Jefferson City Railway Station, which is adjacent to the building. See other nearby sights, such as the Cole County Historical Society Museum, the Jefferson City Museum of Modern Art and St. Peter Church. ## Plan a trip to see Missouri State Capitol Price found within the past 48 hours.
