Texas Capitol, State capitol building in Austin, United States
The Texas Capitol stretches across 22 acres of land, featuring pink granite construction and a dome that rises above the United States Capitol in Washington.
The construction of this Renaissance Revival building, completed in 1888, required over 21 million bricks and granite from nearby Granite Mountain.
The legislative chambers contain numerous portraits of Texas figures, murals, and historical artifacts that represent the development of the state.
The Capitol offers free 30-minute guided tours from Monday to Friday between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM, with weekend tours starting at 12:30 PM.
The brass chandeliers in the House of Representatives Chamber integrate light bulbs arranged to spell out the word TEXAS.
