    Probably the most impressive building in Budapest. Unfortunately, it is so wide that you can only get a picture of it from the other side of the Danube.

    The Parliament Building is the seat of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest. The 268-meter-long building, located directly on the banks of the Danube, is one of Budapest's landmarks. It was modeled on the Palace of Westminster, the seat of the British Parliament in London.
    The architect of the building, which was built in neo-Gothic style, was Imre Steindl. Construction took place from 1885 to 1904.

      Today it is the third-largest parliament in the world.
      40 kg of 23-carat gold were used to build it.

        The Parliament Building in Budapest, known in Hungarian as Országház, is one of Hungary's most imposing landmarks and one of the largest and most magnificent parliament buildings in the world. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Danube in the Pest district and was designed by the Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in the Neo-Gothic style with Renaissance elements. Construction began in 1885 and was completed in 1902, with the ceremonial inauguration taking place in 1904. With a length of 268 meters, a width of 123 meters, and an impressive dome height of 96 meters – a symbolic number commemorating the year 896, the Hungarian conquest – the building is a masterpiece of architecture.

        It houses 691 rooms, numerous corridors, halls, and staircases, as well as 365 small turrets that are said to represent the days of the year. Inside, the Parliament Building impresses with its ornate decorations, gold-plated columns, colorful stained glass windows, and magnificent halls. Particularly noteworthy is the Dome Hall, which houses the Hungarian St. Stephen's Crown, the country's most important national symbol. Today, the Parliament Building is not only the seat of the Hungarian National Parliament, but also one of Budapest's most visited attractions and a proud symbol of Hungary's history, culture, and national identity.
