Texas State Capitol

This stunning pink granite capitol building rises majestically above Austin's downtown, standing taller than the U.S. Capitol with its distinctive dome and ornate interior chambers. Inside, you'll discover beautiful hand-carved details, historic legislative chambers where Texas law is made, and rotating exhibits that tell the state's colorful political story. The building's architecture and grounds offer a glimpse into 19th-century Texan ambition and craftsmanship.
