One of the three main sites of the European Parliament, along with Brussels and Luxembourg, in the Wacken district. The building was constructed specifically for the meetings of the European Parliament, which take place there regularly.
The building is known for its modern architecture and distinctive shape. It has a futuristic glass dome, called a "lanterne", which covers the plenary chamber. This plenary hall is the central room where MEPs from the various member states of the European Union meet to discuss üimportant political matters and pass laws. The dome itself symbolises transparency and openness, reflecting the EU's core values.
Thousands of visitors come to see the dome.
Thousands of visitors, including school classes, tourists and political delegations, flock to the building every year to take part in tours and events.
