    The Utah State CapitolState CapitolsAnchor

    It stands on the bench above the city with the whole Salt Lake Valley below it and the Wasatch behind, which is the best free view in Utah. Granite and Georgian marble, a rotunda painted with the state's history, and a seismic retrofit that rests the entire building on 280 base isolators so it can slide two feet in an earthquake.
