Palace of Europe, Council of Europe headquarters in European Quarter, Strasbourg, France
The Palace of Europe spans 64,000 square meters across nine floors, featuring red, silver, and brown exterior colors with large window rows and a central dome.
The building opened in 1977 to replace the former House of Europe, serving as both the Council of Europe seat and European Parliament location until 1999.
The Palace contains 17 conference rooms and a circular Committee of Ministers chamber, representing the collective decision-making processes of European nations.
Guided tours of the Palace require advance booking and are available Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, then 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The building displays flags from all 46 member states at its entrance, while the central Hemicycle chamber hosts major parliamentary assemblies and debates.
