Number 10: Hungarian Parliament Building. Hungarian Parliament is the largest building in
Hungary and the third largest parliament building in the world. Built in 1902 in the neo-

building in Budapest. Apart from impressive architecture, the building was also an
engineering marvel at the time of its construction, for instance, a special system was
designed to cool the building during hot summers where a big ice cube was placed in the
basement of the building every day and cool air was sent through a complex ventilation
system. You can visit the parliament building with an organized tour and admire its
impressive dome housing an over 900-year-old crown and learn more about the detailed
architecture of this impressive building.
