Parliament is a real architectural masterpiece adorning the right bank of the Danube, a universally recognized calling card of the capital. The construction was built in the Neo-Gothic style, its facade is decorated with numerous arches, towers, "flying" spans. The interiors are luxurious and pompous. The building is one of the most visited tourist attractions of Budapest.

Symbolizing the country’s newly-found political unity, it was built in 1896, just in time for the celebration of Hungary's millennial anniversary. The construction involved around 100,000 people and took 40 million bricks, 40 kilos of gold, and half a million precious stones and jewels used for decoration. The enormous structure contains about 700 rooms and a staggering 19 km of stairs and corridors, with overall 242 sculptures, both inside and outside, and 27 entrance gates.

The facade is decorated by 90 figures of famous Hungarian personality and 162 statues are still in the interior of the building. For decoration was used exclusively gold from 22 and 23 carats.
