Parliament House, Parliament building on Capital Hill in Canberra, Australia.
The Parliament House contains 4700 rooms across three floors, featuring a massive flagpole rising 81 meters above the structure with the national flag.
The Federal Parliament of Australia moved to this location in 1988 after operating in Melbourne until 1927 and then in the Old Parliament House.
The House of Representatives chamber displays green decor symbolizing eucalyptus leaves, while the Senate chamber features red tones reflecting British parliamentary traditions.
Visitors can access multiple areas of Parliament House through guided tours, including the marble foyer, Great Hall, and public galleries of both chambers.
The building design allows people to walk on grass-covered roofs, positioning citizens physically above their political representatives.
