As one of the most spectacular buildings in Des Moines and one of the finest capitol buildings in the US, the Iowa State Capitol is a must-visit. Designed in a polished renaissance style, the building is stunning, but the dome is something to behold, built of iron and brick and encrusted with 23-carat gold.
