Alaska State Capitol
A state capitol that looks more like an office building, and one of the few US state capitols without a dome. Visitors can tour the legislative chambers for free.
Built in 1931 as a federal and territorial government building, the Capitol features marble columns at its entrance and a plain exterior, unlike traditional domed legislatures. On summer weekdays, free guided tours of about 45 minutes are offered, covering the Senate and House chambers, the governor's office gallery, and historical exhibits. A statue of William Seward stands at the entrance in commemoration of the purchase of Alaska. It's located downtown and can be combined with the state museum and St. Nicholas Church on a walking route.
Opening hours
