The U.S. Capital Building

I was able to tour the inside of the Capital building. It was really neat inside. They didn't let us take many pictures, but here is what I could take.
The rotunda is made out of cast iron. This picutre is at the top. It has George Washington in a throne with Greek Gods and Goddesses surrounding him. They all symbolized something, but I can't remember them. The guide spoke really fast.
There was a mural around the bottom of the rotunda. It followed history. This is the beginning where Christopher Columbus is arriving at the New World.
