(Visit the State House Office of the President) which is synonymous with the history of Victoria and Seychelles as a whole. It is a monument which is a symbol of the evolution of the Seychellois people and of the forging of their national identity from colonial and immigrant roots. This sublime and majestic building which is a National Monument was called 'Government House’ during the years when Seychelles was a British colony and was under the authority of a Governor and his Legislative Council. State House was also the residential home of the governor. In all, sixteen governors and one President have lived there. In 1977, the building ceased to be the home of the chief executive. It became the offices of the Head of State and housed some of the departments and agencies affiliated with the functions of the President. Tour the State House grounds with its wide and open extent of sloping lawns where flowering shrubs create an amazing contrast with the verdant grass.
