Houses of Parliament, Cape Town

About

The Houses of Parliament in Cape Town serve as the seat of the Parliament of South Africa, the country's national legislature. It consists of three main sections; the original 1884 building (now the National Council of Provinces building), the Old Assembly building (built in 1910), and the National Assembly building (built 1983–1985).

After sustaining substantial damage during a fire in January 2022, the Old Assembly and National Assembly buildings are currently undergoing major renovations. The R 4.6 billion project seeks to balance modernisation with retaining the site's heritage. The project is slated for completion in June 2027.
