The building was inaugurated at the beginning of the 20th century after 17 years of construction under the aegis of the Hungarian architect Imre Steindl.
The Budapest Parliament, organized around a central dome, is as impressive from the inside as it is from the outside.
With 18,000 m², it is third largest parliaments in the world, and its Neo-Gothic symmetrical façade is inspired by London’s Parliament, the Palace of Westminster.
At 268 m and 123 m wide, the Hungarian Parliament is composed of nearly 700 rooms, 10 courtyards, 29 staircases and about 250 sculptures. Its dome, which rises to 96 m, makes it one of the tallest buildings in Budapest.
