Iowa State Capitol

On the top of best day trips from Iowa is the capital city of Iowa. It is in Des Moines, where the Iowa State Capitol, often known as the Iowa Statehouse, is located. The structure contains the Iowa Senate, Iowa House of Representatives, the Governor's office, as well as the offices of the Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer, and Secretary of State as the location of the Iowa General Assembly.

Although court proceedings often take place in the adjacent Iowa Supreme Court building, the structure also houses a chamber for the Iowa Supreme Court. The edifice, the only five-domed capital in the nation, was built between 1871 and 1886.

The Capitol, which is perched on a hill and is situated at East 9th Street and Grand Avenue, provides a sweeping view of the city's center and the West Capitol Terrace. Along its sides and in front are several monuments and memorials, such as the Lincoln and Tad statue and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
