Palace of the Patriarchate, Religious edifice on Mitropoliei Hill, Bucharest, Romania.

The building, completed in 1907 by architect Dimitrie Maimarolu, initially served as the Palace of the Chamber of Deputies until 1997.

The structure represents the intersection of religious and political power, with its location near the Patriarchal Cathedral indicating Romanian Orthodox influence.
