Missouri State Capitol, Government building in Jefferson City, United States.
The Missouri State Capitol extends 437 feet in length and 300 feet in width, with its dome reaching 262 feet above the limestone foundation.
The current Capitol, completed in 1917, represents the third permanent structure in Jefferson City after previous buildings were destroyed by fire in 1837 and 1911.
The Missouri State Museum within the Capitol presents exhibits about state history across multiple halls, including displays of regional artifacts and heritage collections.
Visitors can explore all four floors of the Capitol through guided tours, which require advance reservations made at least 24 hours before the intended visit.
The bronze figure of Ceres, the goddess of grain, stands at the top of the dome, symbolizing the agricultural heritage of Missouri.
