Virginia State Capitol

Highlight • Historical Site

The Virginia State Capitol in Richmond has served as the seat of the Virginia General Assembly for over two centuries. Designed by Thomas Jefferson and inspired by classical Roman architecture, it stands on Shockoe Hill overlooking the James River. The building witnessed major events, including Virginia’s declaration of independence and its role as the Confederate capital during the Civil War. Expanded in 1904, it remains a symbol of Virginia’s political legacy and architectural heritage.
