Located on North Third Street and State Street in downtown Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania State Capitol is Pennsylvania’s seat of government. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style in 1902, it was built and inaugurated in 1906. The Capitol houses the state Senate and House of Representatives as well as the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.

Because of its many murals, sculptures, and stained glass windows, the building is referred to as a “palace of art,” and it has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Welcome Center located in the East Wing of the Capitol is open from Monday through Friday, and tours are offered nearly every day of the week.
