State Capitol Building

Watch Illinois politics in action, in this beautiful Renaissance Revival/Second Empire style building topped with a stunning 405-foot dome. All tours are free.

In 1867, the ground was broken on the current Illinois Capitol Building, with the first general assembly held there in 1876.  The capitol sits on the highest elevation in Springfield, and to this day, no structure in Springfield is allowed to be taller than its zinc-covered dome. The majestic French Renaissance style building serves as the center of Illinois politics and government. Spectators can watch the House and Senate proceedings from public galleries, see the Governor's office, visit legislative offices and learn about both the history and current use of the building.
