The Masonic Symbolism of the U.S. Capitol

The US Capitol is not simply another governmental building. It is the spiritual center of the

United States. Its structure, its art and its symbols all reveal the great importance of secret

Fraternities in the shaping of the world most powerful government. We’ll explore the

Capitol and discover the features that make this building a Masonic site, an American

Temple of Solomon.

The Capitol is viewed by the average American as the seat of democracy, where big political

decisions are taken. Very few recognize the spiritual elements of the architecture and the

symbolism of the building which literally makes it a temple of Masonic mysteries. At the center

of it all is George Washington, a 33rd degree Freemason being anointed as the “American

Christ”. The building of the Capitol involved many notions unknown to the common man yet the

builders seemed to give great importance to them: alignment with heavenly bodies, importance

of ley lines, occult numerology, spiritual energy, etc. Those things might sound like “crazy New

Age stuff” to the average Joe not to the Founding Fathers who attributed great importance the

them. Here’s a look at the meaning of the Capitol.

Built by Freemasonry

The Capitol, like all Washington DC, has been almost entirely designed by Freemasons and

integrates within its architecture and artwork the “keys to the Craft”.
