This beautiful classical buildings houses the government of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. While most of the Greco-Roman architecture is made of white limestone and Oklahoma pink granite, the dome is made of steel, concrete and plaster. Sprawling over 100 acres the complex offers as much to see outside as it does inside. For instance, the Capitol building rises directly above the Oklahoma City Oil Field and it is the only capitol in the country with active oil rigs. Inside, the walls of the building are decorated with beautiful murals and often feature changing art exhibits inside the special Museum.

Surrounding the complex you will also find the State Capitol Park, the Oklahoma History Center, the Oklahoma Judicial Center, and the Oklahoma Governor's Mansion. On the north of the building you will find the Oklahoma Veterans Memorial. The area is also host to some excellent restaurants and bars.
