Malawi Parliament Building
The modern parliament building on Capitol Hill, with a broad plaza and symmetrical façade. It is a landmark of the new capital, though visitors can usually only take photos from the outside.
The Malawi Parliament Building is located on Capitol Hill in the new city of Lilongwe. It opened in 2010, replacing the chamber that had previously been housed in the former Presidential Palace. The building has a symmetrical, modern design, with broad steps and a plaza at the front, and it stands in the government district where many ministries are concentrated. Ordinary visitors can generally only take photos from the outside. To observe proceedings, you must arrange a visit in advance through the parliamentary office. It can be visited together with the Kamuzu Mausoleum and the war memorial tower.
