California State Capitol

   We had a free tour inside the Capitol building. There are policemen everywhere and you have to go through security.

I really liked to learn about the history of the Building.

     It was damaged in an earthquake in 1892 and had to be rebuilt.There used be Greek statues on the roof of the building but after the earthquake many were destroyed and there are no statues today because they are not earthquake safe. click hear to find out more about it.

We liked it so much that we went several times

Bottom right:  Assembly room.

We actually went to an assembly meeting.  It was really long and boring. I thought they would get into voting for laws but they just gave a lot of speeches. We left after an hour.

The Senate Room

When it was rebuilt I liked that they they kept the Victorian style
