Ten Commandments Monument, Religious monument at State Capitol, Little Rock, US
The Ten Commandments Monument is a granite stone on the State Capitol grounds in Little Rock with the Commandments inscribed in Hebrew and English text. The structure rises well above human height.
The monument was installed in 2017 following legislation passed in 2015 that allowed religious monuments on state property. The original version was destroyed shortly after it was erected.
The monument sits where questions about religion in public spaces become visible. Visitors notice how it sparks conversations about faith and government.
The monument is visible on the Capitol grounds during regular visiting hours and sits near the parking areas. You can reach it easily on foot while visiting the Capitol.
The first version was destroyed within a day of being erected, leading to the installation of a replacement with enhanced security. This incident made the site a flashpoint for public debate in Arkansas.
