The word "capitol" applies to the building housing the legislative branch of a government. In the US, there is the US Capitol Building in Washington DC and 50 state capitolbuildings, one in each of the 50 state capitals (cities). There are also older buildings in many states that had previously served as the state's capitol building.

So there are 51 active capitols and a few dozen older, historic capitols.
