The Hungarian Parliament Building
The Hungarian Parliament Building, also known as the Parliament of Budapest after its location, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary, and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated on Kossuth Square in the Pest side of the city, on the eastern bank of the Danube. It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902. It has been the largest building in Hungary since its completion. Budapest was united from three cities in 1873, namely Buda, Óbuda, and Pest.[8] Seven years later the Diet resolved to establish a new, representative parliament building, expressing the sovereignty of the nation. The building was planned to face the Danube River. An international competition was held, and Imre Steindl emerged as the victor; the plans of two other competitors were later also realized in the form of the Ethnographic Museum and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, both facing the Parliament Building. Construction from the winning plan was started in 1885, and the building was inaugurated on the presumed 1,000th anniversary of the country in 1896. It was not fully completed until 1904. The architect of the building first went blind and then later, died before its completion. #urbanexplorer
Modern building in Budapest. Don’t forget to view the night view of Parliament Building.
Night view of Hungarian Parliament Building, it is a magnificent view if you are viewing at certain spots. thanks
The Parliament Building in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Reservations are required for tours inside and most of them are sold out in the morning. It's just the third largest parliament building in the world, so it's very luxurious and big anyway. The atmosphere changes dramatically during the day and night, and the lighting up at night is a masterpiece.
On the Danube cruise ship far view, and closer to see, can only be described in one word: shock!
Absolutely stunning building, marvellously illuminated at night (pictured below).
Not as good as I thought.
Very worth going, both inside and without views is spectacular
This building is amazing when you look at the whole ! I really love the reflection on the river
