Review:
The Alabama State Capitol is the National Register of Historic Places-listed state capitol building of the state of Alabama, located atop Capitol Hill in Montgomery. The current capitol building sits on the site of a former capitol building lost to fire, reconstructed in its present state in 1851. It briefly served as the Confederate Capitol during the American Civil War, following the state's secession from the United States in 1861. More than a hundred years later, it became infamously known as the site of the third Selma to Montgomery March during the American Civil Rights Movement, which directly led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Visitors can tour the gorgeous Greek Revival-style building throughout the year as part of self-guided tours and explore its spectacular domed interior and landscaped grounds designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
