Louisiana State Capitol

The Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge is the tallest capitol building in the United States, standing 34 stories high. An observation deck near the top gives sweeping views of the city and the Mississippi River.

It is famous for its grand marble halls and beautiful gardens spread out in front. Visitors love riding the elevator up to see the whole city from way above.
