The main entrance of the Capitol/Museum faces east and is flanked by newer buildings that house the State Senate and the State House of Representatives. To the west of the old Capitol is another newer building that houses the Executive Branch of the State Government. East of the Capitol is the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza with many historical statues and memorials to fallen members of the armed services. The largest statue is of Father Kino and the most poignant memorial, at the east end of the park, is the anchor of the USS Arizona.
