The largest state capitol dome in the country, covered in 23-karat gold leaf. The complex also contains the Culture Center, the Governor's Mansion and the Holly Grove Mansion, as well as many historical statues on the grounds, which is a registered with the National Register of Historic Places and is odd among state capitols (alongside Oklahoma City) in not being located downtown.
