| The United States Capitol is the capitol building that serves as the location for the United States President, the executive branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located in Washington, D.C. | |
| It is an exemplar of the Neoclassical architecture style. | |
| The Capitol differs from other notable buildings, especially churches and landmarks in Europe, including the dome of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, and St Paul’s Cathedral in London. On the roofs of the Senate and House Chambers are flagpoles that fly the U.S. flag when either is in session. | |
| Above these chambers are galleries where people can watch the Senate and House of Representatives. |
8. Imagine that you are walking your friends to the Capitol: tell them about the history of this American attraction.
