The Oregon State Capitol is the third building housing the government, as the previous two were destroyed by fire. This building is finished in marble on the exterior and interior. Admire the four murals that line the interior of the rotunda and the Oregon Pioneer on top of the building. Visitors can climb up 121 spiral steps to admire this figure that represents the spirit of Oregon’s early settlers.

The grounds outside the capitol have breathtaking artwork. Sit beside one of the many fountains, and admire the state tree and the state flower that add charm to this space.
