The national assembly and conference centre, built with Chinese aid in the 1960s. Its broad front square and fountains are important public spaces in the capital.
The Palace of the People was built in the 1960s with Chinese aid. It houses Guinea's National Assembly and is also used for large conferences and performances. Its wide front square and fountains often host National Day events. For Chinese visitors it is a symbol of the friendship between China and Guinea. The interior is generally closed to individual visitors, but you can take photographs from outside. The 22 November Monument and the Franco-Guinean Cultural Centre are nearby, and all three can be visited on foot in one trip.
