We had not been to Madison before, and were awestruck by the sight of the state capitol building's rotunda as we headed toward our hotel. The building is lit up at night, making the rotunda all the more impressive. It sits in the middle of an X-shape, providing doorways to the north, south, east and west. The surrounding grounds were beautiful, with huge old trees adorning expansive green lawns. Benches and built-in stone seating are everywhere, allowing passers-by to rest and enjoy the views. The building is open seven days a week. One can go in and look around at the interior of the rotunda, the huge sky lights, and over 200-plus types of stone used to create the building. Guided tours are available, although we just wandered. As you go up to ever-higher galleries, hang onto small people. The walls and railings are just tempting enough for little climbers.
