Located on Woodlane Street, the Arkansas State Capitol is a historic building and the house of government for the state of Arkansas. The building was constructed between 1899 and 1915 on the site of the state penitentiary, and prisoners helped with the construction. Made of limestone and marble, the building is capped with a 24-carat gold leaf cupola and is one of the top Little Rock attractions.

Inside the building, you can see quite a few memorials including a replica of the Liberty Bell, the Little Rock Nine Civil Rights Memorial, and the Confederate War Prisoners Memorial. From the public galleries, visitors are able to watch the legislators at work. Guided tours are available.
