National Assembly Building of Angola

National Assembly Building of Angola, Legislative building in Luanda, Angola.

The National Assembly Building is a legislative structure in Luanda with seven above-ground floors and two below, combining neoclassical design with geometric forms and columns. Inside are multiple conference rooms, administrative offices, and public spaces built to support parliamentary processes and national policy debates.

President José Eduardo dos Santos laid the foundation stone on 15 October 2009, and construction began on 17 May 2010. The Portuguese firm Teixeira Duarte built the palace between 2010 and 2015 for the Angolan government. From 11 November 1975 until 10 November 2015 the legislature sat in the Palácio dos Congressos, which the new building replaced.

The palace has housed Angola's unicameral National Assembly since its inauguration in 2015, taking over from the Palácio dos Congressos, the legislature's seat from 11 November 1975 to 10 November 2015. The building was erected by the Portuguese construction firm Teixeira Duarte under the Angolan government.

The palace is an official working building, so visits depend on guided tours or special events and should be arranged in advance. Cameras and mobile phones are not allowed inside, and visitors must follow the guides' instructions. The building occupies a whole block in Luanda, with a large central dome ringed by the surrounding structure.

The cornerstone was laid on 15 October 2009, but work only began on 17 May 2010; the Portuguese firm Teixeira Duarte built the palace between 2010 and 2015. From 11 November 1975 until 10 November 2015 the Angolan legislature sat in the Palácio dos Congressos, so the new seat opened just as that 40-year arrangement ended.
