Palace of the Royal Hungarian Diet, Baroque castle in District of Bratislava I, Slovakia
The Palace of the Royal Hungarian Diet is a baroque building organized around four wings with an irregular footprint and a central courtyard. The three-story structure houses library facilities and serves academic purposes today.
The building was constructed in the 1700s and served from 1802 to 1848 as the meeting place for the Hungarian Parliament. During these decades, major political decisions affecting the region were made within its walls.
The sculpted reliefs on the facade depict justice and legislation, created by an artist from Georg Raphael Donner's workshop. These artistic details shape how the building appears today and reflect its role as a place of authority.
The building now serves as a university library open to the public with research facilities and study spaces. The interior is well organized to support academic work and scholarly activities.
The building holds an Islamic manuscript collection recognized by UNESCO's Memory of the World program. This collection spans centuries of scholarly records and represents a remarkable archival treasure.
