The United States Capitol is a building erected in the style of American neoclassicism, the construction of which began in 1793 and was completed in 1800. The chief designer and architect responsible for the construction was William Thornton. However, the current form of the building was obtained only in 1865, after rebuilding, the most important of which was supervised by Edward Clark. It is worth adding that one of the renovations of the building (from 1814) was forced by a fire. The building rises on the so-called Capitoline Hill in the US capital of Washington. From the very beginning, it serves as the seat and meeting place of the American Congress, i.e. the bicameral US parliament composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. At present, one of the most characteristic elements of the Capitol is the huge dome, which from the inside is decorated with a fresco of Washington's Apotheosis from 1865. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Capitol building was also very often the place of the last farewell to deceased US presidents, such as Ronald Reagan.
