Romania comes to terms with monument to communism 30 years after Ceausescu's death. Bucharest’s notorious Palace of the Parliament bears witness to the folly of dictator shot dead on Christmas Day 1989.
Bucharest’s most notorious building sits atop a small hill in the centre of the city, appearing squat despite its 84-metre height, due to its vast length and breadth. The Palace of the Parliament, as it is now called, is a monument to dictatorial folly whose benefactor was executed before he could see it completed. It's 30 years since Romania’s communist-era dictator, Nicolae Ceau?escu, was tried and shot dead along with his wife, as the last revolution of 1989 swept through what was perhaps the communist bloc’s most repressive state. Yet in a strange twist of fate, three decades after the Ceau?escu’s fall, his sinister fortress still dominates a whole quarter of central Bucharest. The building, planned to house every ministry under one supersized roof and act as the nerve centre for the entire communist government, today hosts Romania’s parliament.The Romanian parliament building in Bucharest. About one-fifth of the city was bulldozed to build the so-called House of the People. Gaggles of wide-eyed tourists are taken around on tours a few times each day, although the two-kilometre walk takes in just 5% of the building’s rooms. Visitors are shown hall after hall of ever more absurd proportions: one is the size of half a football pitch, with eight chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The spaces designed for huge portraits of Ceau?escu and his wife, one at each end of the hall, are blank. Pictured: A guide explains a stylized drawing of the Romanian Parliament building, in Bucharest, Romania.

Romania comes to terms with monument to communism 30 years after Ceausescu's death. Bucharest’s notorious Palace of the Parliament bears witness to the folly of dictator shot dead on Christmas Day 1989.
Bucharest’s most notorious building sits atop a small hill in the centre of the city, appearing squat despite its 84-metre height, due to its vast length and breadth. The Palace of the Parliament, as it is now called, is a monument to dictatorial folly whose benefactor was executed before he could see it completed. It's 30 years since Romania’s communist-era dictator, Nicolae Ceau?escu, was tried and shot dead along with his wife, as the last revolution of 1989 swept through what was perhaps the communist bloc’s most repressive state. Yet in a strange twist of fate, three decades after the Ceau?escu’s fall, his sinister fortress still dominates a whole quarter of central Bucharest. The building, planned to house every ministry under one supersized roof and act as the nerve centre for the entire communist government, today hosts Romania’s parliament.The Romanian parliament building in Bucharest. About one-fifth of the city was bulldozed to build the so-called House of the People. Gaggles of wide-eyed tourists are taken around on tours a few times each day, although the two-kilometre walk takes in just 5% of the building’s rooms. Visitors are shown hall after hall of ever more absurd proportions: one is the size of half a football pitch, with eight chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The spaces designed for huge portraits of Ceau?escu and his wife, one at each end of the hall, are blank. Pictured: C.A. Rosetti room inside the Romanian Parliament, with the largest chandelier the building has, weighting 5 tons, in Bucharest, Romania.
