Nauru Parliament House, located in the Yaren District, serves as the seat of the country's government and is the center of legislative activity.

Completed in 1992, it is one of the oldest parliamentary buildings in the Pacific region and stands as a symbol of Nauru’s political heritage. The building exhibits a distinctive design incorporating traditional Nauruan motifs such as the “Lagoon Fish” and features a prominent dome. Inside, it houses the main chamber for legislative debates, a library with important historical documents, a gallery, and a courtyard.

As the focal point of governance for Nauru, Parliament House is a key landmark for both political functions and visitors interested in understanding the nation’s government. Its location in Yaren reflects the district's role as the de facto capital of Nauru, which includes other government offices and services.

Visitors can take guided tours of the building on weekdays, with respect for dress codes and rules such as no photography inside.
