This is one fine building.
A majestic granite structure that features forty-three varieties of stone from around the world. Pair that with decorative murals, glass mosaics and hand carved furniture and you'll be saying, "Man, that's the prettiest government building I've ever seen!"
After we took our guided tour and sopped up all the history of Madison, we decided to walk up what seemed like a million stairs to the observation deck.
Once at the top, the view proved that all the huffing and puffing it took to get up there was well worth it.
Because of it's domed structure we were able to walk 360 degrees around the building and see the city of Madison and all it had to offer from a birds-eye view.
So, if you're new to this city and don't really know your way around, I suggest you get up to the top of this building and learn the downtown area for yourself.
