Eduskuntatalo, Parliament building in Etu-Töölö, Finland.
The parliament building features fourteen Corinthian columns made of red Kalvola granite and rises six floors with an elevation of 18 meters.
Construction began in 1926 after a design competition won by architect Johan Sigfrid Sirén, and the building officially opened on March 7, 1931.
The circular parliamentary chamber receives natural light through its dome and contains furniture crafted by Finnish designers using native woods like birch and oak.
The parliament offers free guided tours every Thursday at 11 AM, allowing visitors to explore the building and learn about Finnish legislative processes.
Statues of Finnish political figures Pehr Evind Svinhufvud and Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg stand on either side of the lawn along Mannerheimintie.
