"Since everything seems bigger in Texas, it's no surprise that the Texas State Capitolholds the title for largest state capitol building in the union (360,000 square feet of floor space in the main building!). The building is alsoquite beautiful and houses some historical paintings. The inside of the capitol dome, with a lone star at the apex, is an impressive sight.Stroll the groundsto see fountains, old trees, and sculpturesof historical Texas figures. The capitol grounds also offer a great view of downtown to the south and the University of Texas to the north. The Texas landmark is definitely worth a visit on a trip to Austin ."
