Budapest Parliament building







The Parliament building in Budapest is pretty spectacular both inside and out - set on the bank of the river, facing the Fisherman's Bastion. The halls have some pretty spectacular stain glass windows and also some interesting touchs which the Palace of Westminster does not have - like cigar stands for MPs (picture 2) so that they don't take them in the voting chamber. The anti-chamber has some pretty spectacular giant ceramic pots between the rooms on a rather luxurious carpet

The front of the Parliament is where there is an eternal flame to the 1956 Uprising and is also visible from the statue of Imre Nagy
