Ministers' Building

The Ministers' Building, also known as The Secretariat, is a historic site in Yangon, Myanmar, serving as the former administrative seat of British Burma. This Victorian-style structure, completed in the early 1900s, is notable for its role in the assassination of General Aung San and eight cabinet ministers in 1947, an event commemorated annually as Martyrs' Day. The building features a U-shaped design with intricate architectural details and has undergone restoration efforts to convert it into a museum. Visitors can explore its rich history through guided tours, which include access to the Parliament House where Burma's independence was declared. The site is located near key landmarks, making it a significant stop for tourists and researchers interested in Myanmar's colonial past and political history.
