Wisconsin State Capitol
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Madison
The Wisconsin State Capitol gives Madison a prominent civic landmark, with a domed exterior and an elaborate rotunda at the center of the building.
A visit can connect the architecture with the working spaces and public history of state government rather than stopping at a view of the skyline.
Check the current public-tour schedule and building entry guidance before traveling. Legislative business, ceremonies, and other events can affect which areas are available. Leave time for the interior details and the surrounding Capitol Square, and follow instructions for visiting an active government building.
