The seat of the Parliament is the [[Palace of Parliament]] (''luQasoor aluMijhalis luBas''). It is located in the Imperial District (''luShtarmne luShahitishme'') of Bingol on Parliament Hill (''luShumetmne aluMijhalis luBas''). It is served by the Parliament Metro Station (''luBaan aluMijhalis luBas'') of the Bingol Metro which lies only a few metres from the main entrance. Its main facade sits on a public square but the rest of the building is surrounded by lush gardens and greenery that serve as a public park. It is accessible by dedicated bicycle and pedestrian pathways. It is fairly close to other historic public buildings such as the [[Temple of the Authority]] and the [[Bingol Royal Palace]].
The Palace of Parliament consists of a large central dome and several towers and wings. It is built in the 18th century Revivalist and Classical architectural style characteristic of the Demirite dynasty's public works projects in Bingol. The building is built from a combination of materials such as marble and brick. It contains the convocation chamber of the Legislative Council and the old chamber of the Consultative Assembly. The building is not big enough to host the Consultative Assembly, which meets in a large auditorium of capable of seating up to 6,000 people including in the galleries at one time. It was built by the Communist Party to house the National People's Congress. When the Assembly is not in session, the annex serves as a conference centre. Most of the offices of the members are houses in adjacent buildings while the main building primarily contains museums and committee rooms.
