British Columbia Parliament Buildings

Very nice building with spacious forecourt and a 30m high cedar that will be converted into a Christmas tree in December. The trunk of the tree is considerable.
After sunset, the exterior lighting is switched on at the parliament building (see photo).

The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia building dates back to 1898. The facade is 150 meters long and designed in the Renaissance style. With its central dome, the building can be recognized from afar. At night, the contours of the parliament building are illuminated by strings of lights. The forecourt was designed as a green space with a statue of Queen Victoria, a fountain, and the more than 150-year-old Sequoia Tree, which is traditionally decorated with lights as a Christmas tree in December.
