Designed and built by George Coleman as
a colonial mansion in 1827, this is Singapore's oldest government
building. It was the former home of Singapore's democratically-elected
Parliament. Visitors to the stately building are greeted by
a bronze elephant statue, a gift from King Chulalongkorn of
Siam in 1871.
Singapore's Parliament has shifted to new premises at 1 Parliament
Place, just a short walk away.
Location: Empress Place
Getting There: Take the MRT to Raffles Place Station (EW14/NS26)
and walk across Cavenagh Bridge.
