Palace of Parliament

Bucharest lost a huge part of its old quarter that was built this monument of vanity for one family. The Palace was conceived as the largest building in the world. But to the not reached – the Pentagon remainslargest in area. In the Palace, which was named ‘Parliament house" only for effect, as the country single-handedly ruled by the dictator Ceausescu, is about six thousand rooms. The building was constructed in eclectic style with a clear tendency towards gigantism tasteless. Tourists say that the background high-rise buildings of the Soviet construction of the Palace with its marble staircase (which was twice altered to fit the needs of Ceausescu's wife) looks dissonance. The building has twelve floors. They say that eight go deep into the earth. The Palace of the Parliament failed to catch up with the Pentagon in size, but he surpassed him in the construction estimates. This is the most expensive administrative building in the world.

Bucharest – a strange capital. There is no hustle and specious gloss, which are peculiar to large cities. Everything here as at home, even a little provincial. Passers-by will always stop if a tourist asks the way, and sometimes not only point the way, but will take you to the desired location.

Steaua Bucharest
