Hungary's Parliament Building is situated at Pest's riverbank.
Built at a time when Hungary was still under Austrian influence, the magnificent structure is a symbol of Hungary's independence.
Construction of the Parliament House started in 1885. When it was completed seventeen years later, in 1902,
it was the largest parliamentary building in the world with a length of 268 meters and a width of 118 meters (879x387 ft).
The Parliament House is arranged around ten central courtyards and contains more than twenty kilometers of staircase, as well as 691 rooms.
