Capitol
Legislators convene here
The Capitol is the building in Washington, D.C., where the United States Congress meets—both the Senate and House of Representatives.
It sits atop Capitol Hill, which by extension refers to Congress itself: There's strong opposition on Capitol Hill.
The Capitol dome is an iconic symbol of American democracy. (Lowercase capitol is any state legislature building.)
