<p>We followed the Danube till we were very close to the Parliament building. <br />
<br />
Here are some facts about the building:<br />
<br />
<i>The Hungarian Parliament Building – aka Országház in Hungarian – is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a landmark and symbol of the country and one of the top 10 most popular visitor destination in Budapest. Situated in Kossuth Lajos Square, on the bank of the Danube at the Pest side is the largest building in Hungary and the tallest one in Budapest.<br />
The shaping of the House of Parliament grew out of conscious choices of symbolism and carries important historical and political messages. Viewing it from the side of the Danube, we see the halls of the lower and upper houses rise on both sides of the dome surrounded by turrets, which evoke the memory of the bicameral parliament that was in operation when the building was being constructed. The two halls are completely identical in size and shape, thus expressing the equality between the representative lower house and the historical upper house. The dome rising between them signifies the unity of the legislature as well as serving as the venue for joint sittings of the two chambers.<br />
Its layout is symmetrical with the main spaces forming a cross shape and the dome rising at their intersection. Inside the building, there are 10courtyards of various sizes, 13 lifts and hundreds of offices. The rooms are linked through a system of endless corridors.</i> (From guideme.hu)</p>
