The Utah State Capitol, perched on a hill north of downtown Salt Lake City, serves as the seat of state government and a symbol of Utah's heritage. Visitors can explore the neoclassical building on free guided or self-guided tours, taking in the rotunda's murals and marble interiors. The grounds offer sweeping views of the city and the Wasatch Mountains. Exhibits on state history and the building's restoration provide context, while the public art and gardens make it a peaceful stop for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike.
