the
world.

the world.
It was completed in 1997 and has Romania's two houses of parliament as
well as a vast number of government offices.
It has more than 1100 rooms.
From this balcony you can see an avenue which was built
deliberately to be slightly longer and wider than the Champs D'Elysee
in Paris.
