This live webcam stream offers a real-time view of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., an iconic symbol of American democracy.
Situated on Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall, the Capitol Building is the seat of the United States Congress, where the nation’s legislative decisions are made.
Its neoclassical architecture, characterized by a striking white exterior, serves as a focal point in the district and is central to the city’s street-numbering system. Although it’s no longer at the geographic center of Washington, D.C., the Capitol remains a key landmark, representing the legislative branch of the federal government.
