The Capitol of the United States crowns Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. It houses the legislative branch of government which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The United States Capitol Building is located in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River, commanding a westward view across the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument 1.4 miles away and the Lincoln Memorial 2.2 miles away. It is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. It covers well over 1.5 million square feet, has over 600 rooms, and miles of corridors. It is crowned by a magnificent white dome that overlooks the city of Washington and has become a widely recognized icon of the American people and government.
