Lonely Planet review

The National Assembly building is a Second Empire structure completed in 1886. It's home to the Provincial Legislature. Free tours are given in English and French year round. The 30-min visits get you into the National Assembly Chamber, the Legislative Council Chamber and the Speakers' Gallery. The grounds here are also used for staging events during Winter Carnival.

The facade of the building is decorated with 23 bronze statues of significant provincial historical figures including the iconic former premier René Lévesque (1922-87) and Maurice Duplessis (1890-1959) who kept a strangle-hold on the province during his 20-year-long premiership.
