Iowa State Capitol

The grounds of the Capitol is one of the best places to get a great view of downtown. Beautiful sunsets

The most beautiful State Capitol in the U.S. Take a tour of this golden domed gem. I was lucky enough to perform my alto sax playing in the senate chamber years ago.

Make sure you have a camera strap on your camera , or you won't be able to take pictures from the top of the dome. Don't miss the law library , it's gorgeous.

If you think it's impressive by day, drive by at night when it's beautiful all lit up!

One of the true icons of Des Moines. Take the free tour , allow an hour to walk the grounds . This is Iowa at its best

It's very beautiful! There is so much detail in every part of the building. The ceilings are fantastic!
