}}'''Zgradba malteškega parlamenta''' je prostor v katerem se sestaja [[malteški Parlament]]. Objekt se nahaja v glavnem mestu [[Malta|Malte]] v [[Valletta|Valletti]]. Objekt je bil grajen med letoma 2011 in 2015, načrte zanj pa je oblikoval arhitekt [[Renzo Piano]] v okviru projekta City gate, ki je vključeval tudi načrtovanje novega mestnega vhoda in preoblikovanje oziroma prenovo Kraljeve operne hiše v gledališče na prostem. Gradnja parlamenta je stala približno 90 milijonov evrov.<ref name="tom2015-05-042">{{navedi novice|title=The road to the new parliament building – in pictures|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20150504/local/the-road-to-the-new-parliament-building-in-pictures.566676|work=Times of Malta|date=4 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304034117/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20150504/local/the-road-to-the-new-parliament-building-in-pictures.566676|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

Od leta 1921 pa vse do leta 1976 je bilo središče parlamentarnega življenja v Tapiserijski kapeli [[Palača velikega mojstra|Palače velikega mojstra]], prav tako v [[Valletta|Valletti]]. Leta 1976 so nekdanjo orožarno pretvorili v nov parlament, seje Parlamenta pa so v njej potekale do odprtja namensko zgrajenega objekta, ki se je odvilo 4. maja 2015.

[[Slika:Old_Valletta_Railway_Station_(Reception).jpg|levo|sličica|Stara železniška postaja v Valleti (recepcija), 80. leta 19. stoletja]]

Parlament se nahaja na Republiški ulici v bližini mestnega vhoda. Objekt je lociran v soseščini objekta [[Saint James Cavalier]] in ruševin [[Kraljeva operna hiša|Kraljeve operne hiše]] in nasproti [[Palača Ferreria|Palače Ferraria]]. 

Mesto, ki ga trenutno zaseda Parlamentarna hiša, je bilo prvotno poraščeno s hišami, kasneje pa je bila tam postaja Valletta na malteški železnici.<ref>{{navedi splet|title=Valletta Station|url=http://maltarailway.com/route/Valletta%20Station/Valletta%20Station.html|website=maltarailway.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026011556/http://maltarailway.com/route/Valletta%20Station/Valletta%20Station.html|archive-date=26 October 2014}}</ref> Območje je bilo med [[Druga svetovna vojna|drugo svetovno vojno]] bombardirano, postaja in okoliške zgradbe pa so bile dokončno porušene v šestdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja v okviru projekta prenove vhoda v Valletto.<ref>{{navedi novice|last1=Attard|first1=Chris|title=The gate triumphant|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20080824/opinion/the-gate-triumphant.222115|work=Times of Malta|date=24 August 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304062754/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20080824/opinion/the-gate-triumphant.222115|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref> Območje je bilo spremenjeno v odprti prostor, znan kot Trg svobode.

== Oblikovanje in gradnja ==

=== Načrtovanje ===
Stavba parlamenta je bila del projekta Mestna vrata (City Gate), ki naj bi preuredil vhod v Valletto. Projekt je zajemal rušenje četrtih Mestnih vrat in Arkade Trga svobode ter gradnjo petih [[Mestna vrata, Valletta|Mestnih vrat]] in Parlamenta. Poleg tega so ruševine kraljeve operne hiše preurejene v gledališče na prostem, znano kot Pjazza Teatru Rjal. Projekt [[Mestna vrata, Valletta|Mestna vrata]] je zasnoval italijanski arhitekt [[Renzo Piano]], načrti pa so bili razkriti 27. junija 2009.<ref>{{navedi novice|title=Revealed: the new face of Valletta|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090627/local/revealed-the-new-face-of-valletta.262722|work=Times of Malta|date=27 June 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303221303/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090627/local/revealed-the-new-face-of-valletta.262722|archive-date=3 March 2016}}</ref> Družba Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation je Pianu za njegovo delo na projektu plačala 6,6 milijona evrov.<ref>{{navedi novice|last1=Vella|first1=Matthew|title=Renzo Piano's designs for Valletta cost €6.6 million|url=http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/6401/renzo-piano-s-designs-for-valletta-cost-6-6-million|work=[[Malta Today]]|date=14 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112626/http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/6401/renzo-piano-s-designs-for-valletta-cost-6-6-million#.VvW5duIrLIU|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

=== Odprtje ===
Parlamentarno hišo je uradno odprla predsednica [[Marie Louise Coleiro Preca]] 4. maja 2015. Poslanci in drugi gostje, ki so se zbrali v stari dvorani v [[Palača velikega mojstra|Palači velikega mojstra]], so v spremstvu policistov odšli do nove stavbe. Coleiro Preca je otvoritev Parlamenta imenovala za »mejnik v parlamentarni zgodovini Malte«, saj je to prva namensko zgrajena stavba parlamenta na Malti. Prvo zasedanje je potekalo že istega dne.<ref name="auto" />

== Struktura ==
Parlamentarni dom je sestavljen iz dveh blokov, povezanih z mostovi, v enem pa je parlament. Oba bloka sta ločena, da ne bi zakrivali pogledov na Saint James Cavalier z Republiške ulice. Vsak blok ima tri nadstropja.<ref name="maltatoday2013-05-10" />
Struktura je sestavljena iz jeklenega okvirja, prevlečenega z gozitanskim apnencem.<ref name="tom2012-02-06" /><ref>{{navedi splet|title=Valletta City Gate – La Valletta (M)|url=http://www.pibamarmi.it/media/formato2/piba_1364.pdf|website=Casabella|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506061417/http://www.pibamarmi.it/media/formato2/piba_1364.pdf|archive-date=6 May 2016|language=it|date=January 2015}}</ref> Kamnite plošče so izrezljane tako, da se zdi, da jih je narava razjedala.<ref>{{navedi novice|last1=Calleja|first1=Claudia|title=Louvers for new Parliament building|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110115/local/louvers-for-new-parliament-building.345415|work=Times of Malta|date=15 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304031932/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110115/local/louvers-for-new-parliament-building.345415|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>

Parlament je zgradba brez emisij, saj se [[toplotna energija]] pridobiva iz masi kamnine ali oddaja v njej. Uporablja se za ogrevanje in hlajenje stavbe, pri čemer se izogiba [[Hladilni stolp|hladilnim stolpom]] ali [[Kotel (toplotna naprava)|kotlom]].<ref>{{navedi splet|title=Parliament, a green Building|url=http://www.cityofvalletta.org/content.aspx?id=147404|website=City of Valletta|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160325222454/http://www.cityofvalletta.org/content.aspx?id=147404|archive-date=25 March 2016}}</ref>
