The Parliament

This is probably the most prominent landmark of Bucharest - the Palace of the Parliament.

It was built in the 1980s during the reign of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

It's the largest building in Europe and the third-largest in the world.


The Palace houses the Romanian Parliament and the National Museum of Contemporary Art.

It is also often used as a convention centre.
