BC Parliament Buildings
Dating from the 1800s, the BC Paliament Buidlings have some of the finest architecture in the region. Both the exterior and interior are notable for their detail, artwork and beauty. The Neo-baroque buildings face north on Belleville street facing the Inner Harbour and diagonally across from The Empress Hotel. A statue of Queen Victoria stands on the front lawn as well a statue of a soldier to commemorate the province's World War I, World War II and Korean War dead. Atop the central dome is a gold-covered statue of Captain George Vancouver. Free guided tours of the facility are offered year-round.
