The United States Capitol houses the US Congress (the Senate and House of Representatives). Construction began in 1793 under George Washington; the original sandstone building was burned by British troops in 1814 during the War of 1812 and rebuilt. The current cast-iron dome – 88 m tall – was added during the Civil War (completed 1866) at Abraham Lincoln’s insistence as a symbol that the Union would continue despite the war. The Statue of Freedom on top is 6 m tall and weighs 6.8 tonnes.

Place in the open arena. It works in arenas of all sizes – even compact acrylic setups like the Ziom or Comfort, right up to large terrariums. Larger colonies often adopt it as a route or perch.

• Fits all arena formats 20×20 cm and larger
• Pairs with our quartz sand and decorative stones
• Combine with moss stones for a biotope look

Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Resin is waterproof – you can rinse under running water. Avoid harsh detergents and prolonged sunlight.
