Beautiful Building and History Galore! Ideal for young adults interested in History. Many places within walking distance, if you can find a parking place in the area. Best to visit on a Saturday.

Great place to visit with lots of photo opps of this beautiful place. Awesome in the spring when trees and flowers begin to bloom. Lots of history pertaining to Montgomery, Civil Rights Movement and state of Alabama to be gleaned.

The Capitol is such an imposing building, reflecting the historic importance of its position in Montgomery's history. An awesome sight.

Beautiful building that has some great statues around it. Wasn't sure if I could go inside or not. Not much information out for visitors.

My wife and me where one day in Montgomery and we visited this monument. It's interseting but for us Europeans it wasn't very nice. It's not guided and you must try to find out yourself what everything means. For one houre it's okay. After that go as fast as you can to the Civil Rights memorial Center!!!!

Lot's of Alabama history in the place. History buffs would probably enjoy a visit. The facility is old, but very well kept.

We have been visiting our state capital since the 1950's as children. It is the most beautiful of any state capital we have seen and we have seen about 35 in all. My grandfather painted the inside of the dome in the early 50's, so we have special memories of it.

Worth seeing both the old old and new capital building. The staff and security personnel very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the way the history was displayed.

Probably the most beautiful State Capitol in the United States. Modeled after the nation's capitol building, absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Also has the added distinction of being the Capitol of a sovereign nation- the Confederate States of America.
