About Arizona State Capitol
The Arizona State Capitol is the seat of government for the U.S. state of Arizona and is located in its capital city of Phoenix. The capitol comprises the original State Capitol building; two buildings housing the legislative chambers for the Arizona State Legislature made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and Executive Tower containing offices for the Governor. It was originally built in 1900 as the capitol for the Arizona Territory, and became the state capitol after Arizona was admitted into the Union in 1912. The 1900 capitol is maintained as the Arizona Capitol Museum with a focus on the history and culture of Arizona.
