Designed by architect Eugène-Étienne Taché and completed in 1886, the Parliament Building of Quebec stands as an eight-story Second Empire structure in Quebec City's Vieux-Québec–Cap-Blanc–Colline Parlementaire district. Home to the National Assembly of Quebec, the building first housed the legislature on 27 March 1884, though construction continued until April 1886. Located in the Place de l'Assemblée-Nationale just outside Old Quebec's walls, it serves as the principal edifice of a parliamentary complex expanded from the 1910s through the 1930s with adjacent office buildings. The site itself carries deep historical roots, succeeding earlier legislative buildings dating back to 1620. Today designated a national historic site, the Parliament Building and its surrounding terrain are protected from provincial and municipal oversight, though Quebec holds a long-term leasing agreement for the grounds extending to the old town's fortifications.
