Australian Parliament House

Perched atop Capital Hill in Canberra, the Australian Parliament House stands as a modern counterpart to the old art deco parliament building from the 1920s. Constructed in the 1980s, this architectural marvel features a distinctive grassed roof and a striking triangular metal flagpole, both of which have become iconic symbols of the nation. Inside, visitors can admire works by some of Australia’s leading contemporary artists, adding a rich cultural dimension to the political heart of the country.
