State parliament
National Assembly of Armenia
Armenia's parliament meets in a building that The Independent, after surveying parliament buildings in 193 countries, placed among the ten most beautiful in the world, set within a palace-and-park ensemble in Yerevan.
The story
The National Assembly of Armenia is the country's state parliament, and its home in Yerevan is as much a sight as a seat of government. The building and its grounds form a palace-and-park ensemble, best taken in as a whole rather than as a single facade. Its looks have drawn international attention. When the British newspaper The Independent examined the parliament buildings of 193 countries to choose the ten most beautiful, Armenia's National Assembly made the list. That makes it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in architecture: a working legislature whose building has earned a place among the world's most admired parliaments.
