Introduction
The Alberta Legislature Building stands in central Edmonton on the North Saskatchewan River—seat of the provincial legislature, completed in 1908 in stately Beaux-Arts style with a grand dome and rotunda. Free guided tours visit the chamber, ornate staircases and history displays; summer evenings bring music and light events. The surrounding Legislature Grounds are a beloved riverside park for walks and picnics, with ice sculptures in winter.
