Government Buildings Complex
The Government Buildings in Suva are the offices of the executive wing of Government of Fiji. Built in the late 1930s, the Art Deco buildings house the Prime Minister of Fiji's offices, the High Court, and government ministries. Parliament was held here until the 1987 coups, and again since 2015; in the interim it met in a building on Battery Road in the Suva suburb of Muanikau.
The building is located across the street from Albert Park, bounded by Southern Cross Road, Gladestone Road, Thurston Street and Victoria Parade.
There are two statues located in the front of the building:
- Ratu Epenisa Seru Cakobau
- Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna
The buildings should not be confused with Government House to the south on the same street (Victoria Parade).
