Norway's Parliament building, fronting Karl Johans gate in the heart of Oslo — an 1860s yellow-brick landmark whose distinctive semicircular central section houses the debating chamber. It sits at one end of the city's main ceremonial street, with the Royal Palace at the other, anchoring the axis of national life. Its rounded facade and warm brick make it one of central Oslo's most recognizable buildings. For visitors, it's a key stop on a walk up Karl Johans gate — the working seat of Norwegian democracy, dignified rather than showy, and a fixed point in the city's civic landscape.
