Parliament House

  • 0.0

    Welcome to Parliament House, the heart of Australia’s democracy and a symbol of national unity. Located on Capitol Hill in Canberra, ACT, this architectural marvel was opened in 1988, replacing the old Parliament House. Designed by architect Mitchell/Giurgola & Thorp, its unique, modern design features a grass-covered roof that blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, symbolizing the relationship between the government and the people.

    Parliament House serves as the center of Australia’s political activity, housing the chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Its striking design includes a 70-meter-high flagpole, making it an iconic feature of the Canberra skyline. The building is also notable for its open, transparent architecture, reflecting the principles of democracy and accessibility.

    Visitors can explore the impressive Great Hall, adorned with Australian artworks, and the beautiful marble floors that enhance the building’s elegance. The House of Representatives and Senate chambers are also open to the public when not in session. Don’t miss the chance to experience guided tours that delve into Australia’s political history and the daily workings of its government.
