Hungarian Parliament Building
Hungarian Parliament Building, Gothic Revival parliament building in Lipótváros district, Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian Parliament stretches 268 meters along the Danube River bank, featuring a central dome rising 96 meters above ground level.
Construction of the parliament building began in 1885 under architect Imre Steindl's direction and required 40 million bricks plus 500,000 decorative stones.
The building contains the Hungarian Holy Crown and coronation regalia in a dedicated chamber, representing centuries of national sovereignty.
