The Texas State Capitol in downtown Austin houses the Texas Legislature and the office of the Governor. Designed by Elijah E. Myers in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, it was built of red granite between 1882 and 1888 and is 92 metres tall to the top of its dome; visitors can walk through the rotunda, see the chambers and take guided tours.
Zilker Park is a city park of more than 140 hectares in south Austin, where Barton Creek meets Lady Bird Lake. It is named after Andrew Jackson Zilker, who handed the land to the city in stages from 1917, and was laid out in the 1930s; it includes Barton Springs Pool, the Zilker Botanical Garden, a nature and science centre and lawns used for festivals.
