Iowa State Capitol Tickets & Tours

Arising in the east and facing westward toward downtown, the Iowa State Capitol building with its 84 m, 23-karat gold leafed dome towering above the city is a favorite of sightseers. Four smaller domes flank the main dome. The Capitol houses the governor's offices, legislature, and the old Supreme Court Chambers. Various monuments and memorials are to its sides and front, including the Soldiers and Sailors' Monument and the Lincoln and Tad statue.
