Palace of Justice, Courthouse in Bucharest, Romania.
The Palace of Justice extends along the Dambovita River with a 100-meter-long facade featuring allegorical statues representing Law, Justice, Truth, Force, and Prudence.
King Carol I laid the foundation stone in 1890, marking the beginning of construction that lasted until 1895 under architects Albert Ballu and Ion Mincu.
The French Renaissance architecture of the building represents Romania's independence period, when the country established its own judicial system without foreign influence.
The Palace houses the Bucharest Court of Appeal and Sector 5 Court, containing 690 rooms across 33,235 square meters of space.
The marble statues adorning the exterior were created by sculptors Carol Storck and Frederic Storck, representing different principles of justice through their artistry.
