Parliament Building (Public Buildings)
A neoclassical building completed in 1834, with a dome and colonnades, that houses Guyana's National Assembly.
The Parliament Building, also known as the Public Buildings, was designed by the British architect Joseph Hadfield and completed in 1834. It is one of the few brick and stone colonial buildings in Georgetown, and its green dome and white colonnades are very striking. Colonial-era cannons stand on the lawn in front. The building is still in use, so visitors can usually only view it from outside. You may be able to observe parliamentary sessions, but you should check arrangements in advance. It is located near Stabroek Market and can be visited on the way there.
