Georgia State Capitol
Atlanta's working state capitol pairs nineteenth-century architecture with exhibits of Georgia history. Visit for the building and museum collections, while planning around its role as an active government site.
The Capitol makes Georgia's state government visible in the middle of Downtown. From Washington Street, look at the broad portico and Corinthian columns; inside, the museum's flags, artworks and other artifacts add context to the building's civic role. Its 1889 completion also makes it a strong contrast with the modern towers farther north.
What to look for
The Washington Street façade has a broad portico supported by Corinthian columns.
Historic flags and works of art are among the Capitol Museum's collections.
The central rotunda and staircases show the building's nineteenth-century design.
Useful to know
Allow extra time if you want to see the museum as well as the exterior.
