Texas Capitol

The Texas State Capitol isn't just the state's legislative capital — it's also one of Texas' most gorgeous sites! It is located in Austin.

It stands 308 feet tall and is located in the heart of Austin's downtown district. The Capitol is set on 22 acres of land and is surrounded by beautiful gardens that have been skillfully mowed and maintained and memorials and monuments.

There are guided tours of the interior of the structure available, which begin at the visitor center with its various exhibits. The tours are informative, telling you about the many monuments on the grounds and providing insight into the state's legal and government processes and some background on the building's history.
