Parliament House

Parliament House in Melbourne is an impressive government building, a witness to Australia's history. It impresses with rich ornamentation, gilding and ornaments from the gold rush era, reflecting the optimism and pride of the time.

It's worth learning about the mysterious history of the ceremonial mace, which disappeared from the Lower House in 1891 - according to rumors, it ended up in a brothel!

Various tours are available, including architectural tours lasting 1.5 hours. On parliament sitting days, you can watch the proceedings from the gallery, a unique experience for lovers of politics and history.
