Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The capitol building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is a sight to behold, ranking high on our list of most impressive capitols to date. You wouldn't necessarily know this from the outside, or even initially upon entering the first few rooms after walking through the entry doors.  We were inside for quite a while, not realizing what was housed deep inside, before we finally entered the center of the capitol and had our breath taken away by the stunning décor. Everywhere we looked there was something new to see, details missed upon first glance revealing themselves only after standing still long enough to start taking it all in.  The capitol is often referred to as a Palace of Art because of its many sculptures, murals, and stained glass windows. Hopefully some of these pictures capture a hint of that beauty.
