Texas State Capitol: Dome

The Texas State Capitol's dome, decorated with a Texas Star that measures 8-feet from tip to tip and the word 'Texas' were painted on the interior, rises 216-feet feet above the floor of the Rotunda, in 1958. The rotunda is also a whispering gallery.

The Texas star in the center of the dome is actually eight feet in diameter and looms 266 feet above the Rotunda's floor. The word "Texas" surrounds the star.
