Of all the state capitols I’ve been to, this one is certainly the best by time spent and things to see. Georgia has had a very long and storied history, and I say regardless of modern day politics and virtues, they have done a good job of preserving icons and memorials and monuments from the past, unlike for example my home state of Virginia. It took them a while, but indeed having a son as remarkable as Dr. King, Jr., Georgia has helped to modernize whilst still respecting its past- it isn’t like Georgia had many reasons to reconcile with the North after what it and Sherman did to it. The grounds are extremely well-manicured (as a horticulturist myself), and the inside has many relics and such from Georgia’s natural and anthropological history as well. Well-worth a visit, pity about the riot fence, but just walk around it. Cheers.

Nice building só was thinking it worst to go. When discover that all main entrances are closed and you have to turn around to access a small door of the basement, a expectation lowered. Good new, it is free, you receive a very small flyer for the four floors, wouah, I will spend the afternoon here. The advice is to start by the fourth floor and going down. That's the good advice and it will be almost the last good news. Fourth floor, a lot of things about the state evolution, a bit history, segregation and the various elections of the state. Unique opportunity to see general view of the congress room too. You may spend 90% of you time to the 4th floor. 3rd floor, a few things about wildlife and prehistory. 2nd floor offices doors 1st floor is a hall of fame, and offices. One office looks rich, there is no indication of access but an employee invited me to visit. That's the governor office, really few things to see, but the atmosphere is special and nice to experience. I may look a bit rough but i am européen and i expected far more from a museum.

This beautiful gold building is the Georgia State Capitol located in downtown Atlanta. It was built in 1889. Like many State Capitols and City Halls, this building too was designed to resemble the Neoclassical architectural style of the United States Capitol, in Washington, D.C. The gold dome was gilded with native gold leaf from near Dahlonega in Lumpkin County, where the first American gold rush occurred during the 1830s. The interior represents the 19th-century style and was among the earliest buildings to have elevators, centralized steam heat, and combination gas and electric lights. Classical pilasters and oak paneling are used throughout the building. The floors of the interior are marble from Pickens County, which still produces marble today.
