THEN & NOW California State Capitol It took nearly 14 years to complete Sacramento's Capitol building in 1874. A host of setbacks-flooding, political controversy, growing costs-may have delayed the process, but in the end the Renaissance revival-style building became the iconic center of the city's walkable downtown and the headquarters for California government. Learn more about the storied history with a free building tour (offered daily) and a stop into the California State Capitol Museum, where you'll gain insight into the unique history and architecture. And don't miss a chance to roam the 40-acre Capitol Park, with its World Peace Rose Garden, citrus trees, and notable monuments. assembly.ca.gov/statecapitol VISITCALIFORNIA.COM | 147http://assembly.ca.gov/statecapitol http://www.VISITCALIFORNIA.COM
