Description:
- Home to both bodies of the South African Legislature, the National Assembly of South Africa and the National Council of Provinces, the Houses of Parliament consists of two majestic buildings, each distinctly Western in design. Here, visitors have the opportunity to see South Africa's elected government at work, either by taking a guided tour of the buildings year-round, or attending a live session of parliament during the months of January through June. Completed in 1885, these buildings have played a key role in the country's tumultuous history, and stand as a monument to its present-day democratic ideals as well as its tragic past.
