Parliament building

For a list of parliament buildings, see List of legislative buildings.

A parliament building is the building in which the legislature of a country or a sub-national entity meets. Far more than functional administrative centers, these structures are often iconic architectural landmarks designed to symbolize the power, history, and democratic ideals of the state. The design of a parliament building, from its overarching style to the specific layout of its debating chamber, is a non-verbal medium that actively participates in politics by reflecting and shaping the political culture of a nation.
