Tizedik nap - Day 10 (Last day)

On our final day in Hungary we took a guided tour inside the Hungarian Parliament. It is one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies on the bank of the Danube and is currently the largest building in Hungary, and the second largest Parliament in Europe.

Construction started in 1885 and the building was inaugurated on the 1000th anniversary of the country in 1896, and completed in 1904. (The architect of the building went blind before its completion.) There were about one thousand people working on its construction in which 40 million bricks, half a million precious stones and 40 kg gold were used.

Inside the Dome there was the 1000+ years old Holy Crown of Hungary guarded by two men.
