Government Building sights in Edmonton

  1. A

    Alberta Legislature

    Home to politicians, debate and some nice art is the Alberta Legislature. Where Fort Edmonton once stood, the Leg is a grand old building. With its iconic dome and marble interiors, it has grown to become a local landmark. There are free tours to take you behind the scenes and the grounds themselves are a splendid place to spend a warm day. To hook up with a tour, head to the interpretive center/gift shop in the pedway at 10820 98th Ave.

  2. B

    Alberta Government House

    Alberta Government House is the former residence of the lieutenant governor and an opulently spectacular mansion. Steeped in history and tirelessly preserved, you'd never guess that it's nearing its centennial birthday. The art alone is worth visiting - the walls are lined with stunning works by Alberta artists.
