Introduction
The Hawaii State Capitol, built in 1969, brings together the historical and cultural heritage of Hawaii. Its architectural design and sculpture delicately represent the local geography and cultural characteristics. The cone-shaped Legislative Chambers represent Hawaii's origin - volcanoes; the 8 main columns and 132 small columns represent Hawaii's 8 main islands and 132 surrounding smaller islands; and the water pools around the hall symbolize the Pacific Ocean embracing Hawaii. The building and artistic details of the Capitol present visitors with the long-standing historical culture and geographical features of Hawaii. Address 415 S Beretania Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
