The Palace of Assembly in Chandigarh, India, is a legislative assembly building designed by modernist architect Le Corbusier forming part of the Chandigarh Capitol Complex – a larger government compound including several other buildings such as the Secretariat Building and the Palace of Justice. Constructed to serve as the administrative capital for the eastern half of the historic British Indian Punjab province that remained in India after the 1947 partition of India, the compound, along with sixteen other globally scattered buildings designed by Le Corbusier, was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2016. The Palace of Assembly houses the legislatures of the present-day northern Indian states of Punjab and Haryana.Photograph credit: duncid, retouched by UnpetitproleX and Aristeas
