The United States Capitol is the seat of Congress at the eastern end of the National Mall. Its central part was completed in 1800 and its cast-iron dome around 1866. Visitors enter through the underground Capitol Visitor Center, which holds an exhibition hall and starts guided tours of the Crypt, the Rotunda and National Statuary Hall.
Union Station is Washington's main railway station, designed by Daniel Burnham and opened in 1907 on Massachusetts Avenue near the Capitol. Its Beaux-Arts facade draws on the Arch of Constantine, and the vaulted main hall on the Baths of Diocletian. Besides Amtrak, commuter and Metro trains, the station houses shops and restaurants.
The United States National Arboretum covers 446 acres in Northeast Washington and was established by Congress in 1927; the Department of Agriculture runs it as a research centre. Its gardens include Asian collections, azaleas, the National Herb Garden and the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, and 22 sandstone columns from the Capitol's 1828 east portico stand in a meadow.
