U.S. Capitol Building Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

The United States Capitol is the seat of the United States Congress. It is located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. It is the most beautiful and spectacular building in Washington. Americans call the Capitol the Capitol and regard it as the highest symbol of government of the people, by the people, and for the people (the government of the people, by the people, for the people). The cornerstone of the Capitol was laid by President Washington himself on September 18, 1793, and it was put into use in 1800. It was burned by the British during the second American-British War in 1814, and some buildings were destroyed. Later, the conference rooms of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the dome and the rotunda were added, and it was remodeled and expanded many times before it reached its current size.

Attractions distribution:

The Capitol is a three-story flat-roofed building with a three-story large dome on the central roof. On the dome stands a 6-meter-tall bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty. The north and south wings on both sides of the large dome are the offices of the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively.
