SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. Built in 1877 and 1886, this grand building houses the National Assembly, where 125 members of Québec's Parliament spend their time. Built in the Second Empire style, the building is a center of government, history and culture. Twenty-two bronze statues honoring important Québecois dignitaries adorn the front of the building. A lovely fountain honoring the area's first occupants (the Amerindians) graces the main entrance. Guides lead visitors through the National Assembly Chamber where Parliamentary debates occur, and they also show guests the Legislative Council Room and Speaker's Gallery. Plan for your tour to take about 30 minutes. Tours are offered in both English and French.
