The Virginia State Capitol in Richmond has served as the seat of the Virginia General Assembly for over two centuries. Designed by Thomas Jefferson and inspired by classical Roman architecture, it stands on Shockoe Hill overlooking the James River. The building witnessed major events, including Virginia’s declaration of independence and its role as the Confederate capital during the Civil War. Expanded in 1904, it remains a symbol of Virginia’s political legacy and architectural heritage.

The Capitol was conceived of by Thomas Jefferson and Charles-Louis Clérisseau in France, based on the Maison Carrée in Nîmes. Construction began in 1785 and was completed in 1788. It is the first American State Capitol designed after the Revolutionary War and the first public building in the New World to be constructed in the form of a classical Roman temple.
