The British Columbia Parliament Buildings are a stunning neo-baroque landmark overlooking Victoria's Inner Harbour. Built in the late 19th century, the complex features copper-clad domes, intricate stonework, and a grand facade. Visitors can take free guided tours to learn about the province's legislative history and see the ornate legislative chamber. At night, the buildings are outlined with thousands of lights, creating a magical reflection on the water. The manicured lawns and statues, including a gold-topped statue of Captain George Vancouver, add to the grandeur.
