Marvel at the grand architecture of the Mississippi State Capitol. The 171-square-foot building was designed by Theodore Link after beating out other entries for the capitol’s architectural contest. Constructed in 1901, it has since grown to become a beloved landmark amongst locals. Not only has it been recognized as an official Mississippi Landmark since 1986, but it was also designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2016. The capitol is open Monday through Friday and offers free guided tours to visitors daily. Guests will be able to view the building’s Beaux Arts-style architecture along with other design elements such as sculptures of Lady Justice, historical paintings, stained glass windows, and more. Some political events may also be witnessed as the state’s legislative branch still holds office within the building.
