Some historical background about this amazing building.
The People's Palace in Bucharest, now the parliament building. This is the largest building in Europe and contains more than a million cubic metres of marble. It took 700 architects directing 22,000 workers, laboring in three shifts every day from 1984 to 1989, to construct its 1,100 rooms ranging from 30 giant halls to 440 meeting rooms, the rest are offices of the government. This gigantic building is constructed of the best materials and craftsmanship that Romania could provide. In fact, export of marble, crystal, and wood (all of it hand carved and cut) was forbidden since everything that could be produced was needed for this monument to Nicolae Ceausescu. Ceausescu's regime collapsed after he ordered his security forces to fire on antigovernment demonstrators in the city of Timisoara on Dec. 17, 1989. The demonstrations spread to Bucharest, and on December 22 the Romanian army defected to the demonstrators. That same day Ceausescu and his wife fled the capital in a helicopter but were captured and taken into custody by the armed forces. On December 25 the couple were hurriedly tried and convicted by a special military tribunal on charges of mass murder and other crimes. Ceausescu and his wife were then shot by firing squad.
