| Hawaii State Capitol is the new Capitol that replaced Iolani Palace as the seat of state government on March 15, 1969. The structure of The State Capitol is unique with its symbolic design. The conic shape of the legislative chambers represents volcanoes that formed these islands, the 40 pillars encircling the building are reminiscent of native royal palm trees, and the pools surrounding the structure represent the sea. |
How To Get There
From Waikiki, Take Kalakaua toward the mountains. Turn left to South Beratania Street. The Capitol is on the left hand side after Punchbowl Street.
