The Hungarian Parliament, built between 1885 and 1902, is a symbol of the sovereignty of the country and one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. In its time of construction, the building was the oldest parliament in the world (today is the third, after Romania and Argentina) and a clear example of the Hungarian economic and cultural power of the late nineteenth century, which would be turned off almost in full in the next century, due to the two World Wars and the Cold War that would follow. Note that at that time, Hungary had a territory three times the current.
