The Capitol is topped by a large bronze statue called "The Statue of Freedom", and depicts a female figure wearing a feathered eagle helmet and carrying a sword and shield. For this reason, it is also sometimes called "Armed Freedom."
The statue is approximately 6 meters tall and was completed in 1863.
