    The capital of the state of California, Sacramento is located 90 miles northeast of San Francisco and 383 miles north of Los Angeles. California's Capitol building was designed by architects M.F. Butler and Reuben Clark in the Roman Corinthian style. Work began in 1860 and ended in 1874 at the cost of $245 million.

    The California State Capitol is very visitor-friendly. It is open even during Saturdays and Sundays. I visited on a Sunday and joined a free tour of the building. The guide was both informative and entertaining. Our group was allowed to view the legislators at work from the balcony. Apparently, they were working overtime (on a Sunday) because of a budget impasse. It's really amazing to see our elected officials at work.

    Behind the Capitol is a beautiful park. The Vietnam War Memorial there is a poignant reminder of the lives lost in that conflict. Fittingly, beside the memorial is a rose garden.

    Not an easy building to photograph, mainly because of the tall trees. Also, I arrived quite early in the morning, and the sun was casting shadows. Oh well, at least I did see the famous State Capitol. I could hardly not include it in this page could I?

    Try to make it to the Capitol, it's hard to miss, being tha tit is smack dab in the middle of the city....what's the saying? all raods lead to....no, that's Rome..well I guess there isn't a saying but regardless of its lacking a motto, the Capitol of California is an absolutly gorgeous building with pristine grounds that rival some botanical gardens! Plus, I work there, which makes it extra special super cool! Drop me a line if you'd like a personalized tour of my very beautiful place of employment.

    The State Capitol in Sacramento was built in 1874 and is noted for its large glass dome. There are free guided tours of the main building and chambers. Included in the building are seven historic museum rooms depicting state government at the turn of the century. Depending on the time you visit, you can also see the California legislature in session.
    Gray Davis (a democrat) is the current California Governor.

    The dome of the state capitol stands proudly in a spacious green park two blocks south of K Street Mall. Recently restored to its original elegance, and still the seat of state government, the luxurious building brims over with finely crafted details. Although you’re free to walk around, you’ll see a lot more if you take one of the free hourly tours (daily 9am–5pm).
