Another architectural highlight is probably the parliamentary seat of the province. The Basilica of Santa Maria is the largest religious building and certainly stands out for the existing white granite tower. Among the more recent but no less impressive buildings is undoubtedly the Halifax Metro Center, an open space in 1978, and gave more than one case, the right style. A walk through the port is expected to develop a shopping spree, the old warehouses have been alive with shops and cafes to life.
