Hungarian Parliament

My first visit to #Budapest was in December 2017 and in fact, it was a kind of transit trip to #Prague.

These photos were taken on the very first day of my arrival. This spectacular Parliament and Christmas light trams had been engraved in my mind since then, even after returning to Baku.

But back then I didn't know that:

✔️#HungarianParliament is the country's largest and Budapest's highest building as well as the third largest parliament building in the world.

✔️The construction took 19 years, 1 million labor force and 40 kg gold to complete!

✔️#ImreSteindl, the architect, went blind before the completion of the building and died before its official opening.

I have much more to share about the #Parliament. But for now let me assure you that this city will exceed your expectations. 🙌🏻😉
