Texas Capitol in Austin — view 2
The Texas Capitol is a535,000-square-foot building finished in 1888, notable for its iconic pink granite and distinctive dome, which towers 15 feet higher than the U.S. Capitol. It is the largest state capitol building in the United States, symbolizing Texas' political significance and historical pride in its independence. Plan to spend an hour or so exploring the stunning rotunda and the historic portraits of Texas leaders. Late afternoon offers the best opportunity for photography, especially when the setting sun casts warm hues on the façade. The surrounding grounds are a pleasant space for a leisurely stroll amidst various memorials.
