The Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the governor and lieutenant governor of Colorado are housed in the Colorado State Capitol Building, which can be found at 200 East Colfax Avenue in Denver, CO, in the United States.

The historic structure marks the entrance to the Capitol Hill neighborhood and is elevated above the rest of downtown Denver. The main entrance hall extends 180 feet (55 meters), or roughly the height of an 18-story building, to the top of the dome. The official elevation of Denver is also noted outside the building's west entrance, where the words "One Mile Above Sea Level" are carved on the fifteenth step. At a height of 5,280 feet (1,609 m), this step provides a view of the sun setting.

Nearly 70,000 of the approximately 300,000 yearly visitors to the Colorado State Capitol see our lovely and venerable Statehouse. The public can visit the Capitol starting at 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Denver, the capital of Colorado, is the twenty-first-largest city in the US, covering 3,497 square miles of the High Plains and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains over six counties.

Mr. Brown's Attic is among the best places to visit inside the Capitol. The history of Colorado, the construction of the capitol, a play area for children, and other fascinating facts about the structure are all covered in this display section.

The Colorado State Capitol, with its golden dome, is one of the city of Denver's most noticeable skyline elements. Free tours of the state capitol are provided Monday through Friday. The Neoclassical structure, which is located at the eastern end of Denver's Civic Center Park, functions as a sort of museum to Colorado history.

Due to copper's propensity to tarnish and develop a drab patina cover, the capitol's iconic copper dome was replaced with a gold one in 1908. To honor the valiant pioneers and miners who helped construct Colorado, 200 ounces of gleaming 24-karat gold leaf were used to cover the dome. Between 1908 and 1980, the Colorado gold leaf was reapplied three times; the most recent application, made in 2013, used 65 ounces of.999 pure gold that was mined in Colorado and hammered into gold leaf in Florence, Italy.

The golden-domed State Capitol building of Colorado is a necessary component of Denver's skyline. The Senate, the House, the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Department of Treasury are all housed at Colorado's Capitol building, which was built over the period of five years and finished in 1901.
