Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Un'illuminazione da 500 luci illumina l'esterno di notte, facendo risplendere il marmo bianco contro la valle del fiume North Saskatchewan. Il terreno contiene oltre 1.000 alberi e i dettagli intagliati nella arenaria includono castori, covoni di grano e altri simboli dell'Alberta.
Punti salienti: I piedistalli sul lato sud ospitano quattro enormi statue di bronzo che rappresentano le province che si unirono al Canada nel 1905, con la statua dell'Alberta che indossa un vistoso cappello da cowboy. Il mercoledì estivo, i suonatori di cornamusa marciano sul prato durante la cerimonia del Cambio della Guardia, una tradizione ereditata dagli edifici originali del parlamento in Quebec.
Consigli da insider
- Skip the north entrance tour groups and enter through the south doors for a quieter start.
- The fifth floor rotunda has the best overhead view of the marble floor mosaics below.
- Photography is allowed inside, but no flash near the Legislative Chamber to protect the historic fabrics.
- Visit the gift shop in the basement for locally made Alberta souvenirs you won't find elsewhere.
