Government buildings are structures where public officials work and where government activities take place. These buildings can include city halls, courthouses, and legislative assemblies. They are often designed to be functional and represent the authority of the government. Many government buildings are located in central areas of cities and are accessible to the public. They may house offices for elected officials, meeting rooms for discussions, and spaces for public services. Some notable examples include the White House in the United States and the Palace of Westminster in the United Kingdom.
