North Carolina's state capitol rises majestically on Union Square in downtown Raleigh, a city specifically created in 1792 to serve as North Carolina's permanent capital. Built between 1833 and 1840, the granite building is one of the finest and best preserved examples of civic Greek Revival architecture in the United States.

Relatively small in comparison to many other state capitols, this impressive structure has stood as a symbol of pride to North Carolinians for more than 150 years.

To record your own visit to this waymark, post a photo you took of the state capitol along with some brief comments. Logs without photos will be archived. Thanks.
