    by Jefie
    Built between 1877 and 1886, l'Hotel du Parlement is home to the Quebec legislative assembly. The building itself is a great example of Second Empire style architecture, and tours (approx. 30 min) are available daily, free of charge. All you have to do is show up at Door No. 3 (on the left) and go through security check. Tours include a visit of the debate and senate chambers, and will give you lots of historical, political as well as architectural information. After the tour, make sure to walk around the grounds of Parliament Hill where you will be able to see statues of former provincial prime ministers, as well as a beautiful Inuksuk. A nice way to round off your visit to the province's capital!

    National Assembly of Quebec
    by jamiesno
    Quebec City is the provincial capital of Quebec Province and as a result there are approximately 40,000 civil servants.

    The city is normally a buzz as well with all the local political gossip.

    The National Assembly is one of the cities nicest buildings espeically during carnaval as you can see in this picture.

    The lights make it beautiful as well. The building also has statued everywhere depicting past leaders.

    The Renaissance style building was constructed in 1886 by architect Eugene-Etienne Tache. It houses the National Assembly, which is made up of 125 elected provincial Members of Parliament.

    The front of the Parliament is decorated with 22 bronze statues of important figures in Quebec's history, such as Cartier, Champlain and Frontenac.

    Free guided tours are available year round. The tour includes visiting the National Assembly Chamber, Legislative Council Chamber and the Speakers Gallery, all are beautifully decorated.

    Home to Quebec's Provincial Government, the Parliament Building is one of the oldest in the world and is architecturally inspired by 16th century French Classical design. You can do tours Monday through Friday from 9:00-16:30 and enjoy the lavish interior.

    The Quebec National Assembly is the legislative building for the government of the province.

    Situated just outside the old city, the architecture and artwork both within and without of the building is absolutely magnificent!

    Parliament Building
    by Polly74
    The National Assembly, the seat of democracy in Quebec, is among the oldest parliamentary institutions in North America. Members of the National Assembly gather in the Parliament Building in the heart of Quebec City.
    Over a century old, and remarkable for its architecture and decor, this building bears eloquent witness to the history of Quebec.

    With its monumental facade, allegorical figures, bronze statues and inscriptions, the Parliament Building pays tribute to history. Under the Province's Coat of Arms, the architect carved the famous motto "Je me souviens" ("I remember"), which seems to encompass the many transformations that have taken place in Quebec's history over the years.

    The main facade contains staues of Amerinds, explorers, missionaries, soldiers and statesmen, bringing together some of the men and women that have marked the history of Quebec.
    At the foot of the central tower is a fountain, home of a sculpture known as the "Nigog Fisherman". Above this figure is the "Indian Family", a sculpture by Louis-Philippe Hebert, first president at the Paris Exposition in 1889

    Situated on a hill just outside the city walls is the majestic Parliament House. The prime position on the hill lets the Parliament overlook the old city and the St Lawrence river. The building was built to reflect British architecture and is well worth a visit.

    The Parliament is known as Place de L'Assemblee-Nationale.

    The most prominent building you see when leaving the old town through Porte St. Louis or Porte Kent is the parliament building. Built from 1877 to 1886, the parliament houses Québec's legislative assembly. Apparently, there are free guided tours through the building, but I didn't do them. Instead, I enjoyed looking at the multitude of figures on the facade, most of them showing famous Canadians. Interestingly, there's also a man of first nation origin. The importance that is nowadays given to all matters concerning the first nations can also be seen in an interesting in the gardens before the parliament. A so-called "Inuksuk", a monument dedicated to "the friendship between Québecois and Inuits", is found on the left side of the parliament.
