Parliament
The Hungarian Parliament is the world’s third biggest parliament building. Construction started in 1885, and was completed in 1904, led by architect Imre Steindl. The building is in the Gothic Revival style, while the dome is Renaissance Revival architecture. The facade is entirely symmetrical, built to accommodate a bicameral parliament, but since unicameral legislature was introduced after WWII, only half of the building is used by politicians, the other half is used for guided tours. The building is 96 metres tall to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the country, which was celebrated in 1896. The camera is showing the view from Batthyány Square. (wikipedia.org)
