The Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania is one of the largest administrative buildings in the world and the second largest after the Pentagon in the United States. It was built between 1984 and 1997 during the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. The palace was meant to be a symbol of Romania's communist power and ambition.
The palace covers an area of 330,000 square meters and has over 1,000 rooms. It is 107 meters tall and has 12 stories. The palace is surrounded by a large park and is located in the heart of Bucharest.
