Parliament (Parliament House)

On the banks of the Danube is one of the most beautiful and important buildings in the country, the Parliament, which is the most important place in Hungarian history.Of the 691 seats, the length of the Parliament is 268 metres, with a dome measuring 96 metres. The third largest parliament in the world, it employed up to 1,000 people a day, who worked 40 million hours a day; They used 40 kilos of gold to build the building, and 242 statues were placed on it.

If there were free access to the park, 27 people would be allowed to enter;13 lifts would be available, or for the more sporty riders, 29 lifts would be available. In 2000, the Hungarian crowns, the sceptre, the sceptre, the orcsacute apple and the Renaissance sword were the symbols of the Hungarian crown.It is also possible to buy tickets for the tour of the Parliament, which is guided by a guide. The exhibition also includes other works of art, such as the paintings of Mihai Munkácsy Mihály Honfoglalás cís, or the paintings of Miksa Róth Róth.

Before the church was founded, the petitioner had no right to be moved;llandó place, the churches were held at crossroads in different places. The concept of the Hungarian nation was formed as a result of the social, cultural and economic developments of the reform era, and politics was set in motion by the parliament of a country. In 1882, they were awarded the contract for the parliament, which was won by Imre Steindl. According to his plans, the parliament was built between 1885 and 1904. Inspired by the historicism of the London Parliament, Steindl designed an eclectic style that blends Renaissance and Baroque elements, but with a touch of neo-Gothic.

The structure of the baroque is reminiscent of the structure of the period: the lower part of the upper part of the dome with a single dome on the side. They tried to exclude the form from Hungarian materials, with the help of Hungarian experts, due to the nationalism of the time. The only artificial elements are the Dutch columns, which are identical to those in the English parliament. The motifs decorating the walls are inspired by the indigenous plants of our country.

An unobtrusive feature of the Orsians is the contemporary heating and ventilation system, which was one of the most modern in Europe at the time. Thanks to its maintenance, the system is still serving the Parliament well today. Cooling was originally solved by cold air in a pool (the world's first air conditioning system!), and by 1994, more tons of air were being pumped in the plant.
