Government Buildings, Suva

The Government Buildings complex includes a clock tower with glazed tiles, housing Parliament, law courts, and administrative departments across multiple floors.

The buildings, designed by architect Walter Frederick Hedges, opened in 1939 to replace wooden structures relocated from the former capital Levuka.

Two statues at the entrance represent important Fijian leaders: Ratu Epenisa Seru Cakobau and Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, marking the nation's political heritage.

Visitors can access the buildings during weekday business hours and observe parliamentary sessions when the legislature meets in the main chamber.

The site transformed from a sugar mill area called 'The Crusher' to the central administrative complex of the South Pacific region.
