About
The Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas, USA, is an iconic symbol of the state's rich history and political heritage. Completed in 1888, it stands as one of the largest state capitols in the United States, both in terms of size and architectural grandeur. The building is designed in an Italian Renaissance Revival style and constructed primarily from "Sunset Red" granite, giving it a distinctive appearance. The Texas State Capitol houses the offices and chambers of the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas. Its impressive dome, which rises nearly 308 feet above the ground, is a notable feature that makes it taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
