Locally known as the ‘House of the People’, the Palace of the Parliament is no doubt the most famous landmark of Romania’s communist period. One of the most impressive and controversial constructions in the world, the House of the People is an unforgettable symbol of a regime that irremediably reshaped the country’s history.

Part of Ceausescu’s vision of creating his own version of the capital, the construction is truly monumental with more than 1,000 rooms with hand-made decorations from the finest and most expensive materials.

Located in one of the oldest and most popular parks of Bucharest, the imposing 48 meters tall Mausoleum was built during the communist period to honor the heroes of the Second World War. From the Mausoleum we get a great view of the Palace of the Parliament, the most impressive communist landmark in Romania.
