Thank you guys!  Some photos made today: The Palace of Parliament According to the World Records Academy, the Palace is the world's largest civilian building, most expensive administrative building, and heaviest building. The Palace measures 270 m by 240 m, 86 m high, and 92 m underground. It has 1,100 rooms, 2 underground parking garages and is 12 stories tall. The floorspace is 340,000 m˛. Estimates of the materials used include one million cubic meters of marble from Transylvania, most from Ruşchiţa; 3,500 tonnes of crystal — 480 chandeliers, 1,409 ceiling lights and mirrors were manufactured; 700,000 tonnes of steel and bronze for monumental doors and windows, chandeliers and capitals. Constructing the Palace and Centrul Civic required demolishing much of Bucharest's historic district, including 19 Orthodox Christian churches, six Jewish synagogues, three Protestant churches (plus eight relocated churches), and 30,000 residences. Construction began in 1983. At the time of Nicolae Ceauşescu's 1989 overthrow and execution, the building structure and design were complete.(Wikipedia) This first batch of photos show the section of the building which contains the National Museum of Contemporary Art which was created in 2005 by adding two panoramic elevators and creating a glass-covered terrace at the third floor. The museum has four floors, including the ground floor. The museum is situated on the western side of the palace, opposite to the main facade (the one toward the Unification Boulevard).  image hosted on flickr

Continuing with the National Museum of Contemporary Art: views from ground floor, from elevator and from the terrace at last floor.
The building site in palace's large courtyard in the second video is of the future Orthodox patriarchal cathedral, called Romanian People's Salvation Cathedral, which will be 120 meters long, 70 meters wide and 20 meter tall. It is estimated to be finished in 2015. image hosted on flickr

Thank you! I hope they'll live the rest of the space around the palace (its present courtyard) empty, so that it will be visible from all sides, but I don't know exactly what plans they have. Anyway, the project of the cathedral is very big, with many dependencies, you can read info and see photos of the progress here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1337239 The northern side, where is the entrance to the Chamber of Deputees and of the personnel of the palace and gounvernmental institutions: image hosted on flickr

Probably, because the Leu, the national currency has continuously devaluated over the last two decades and as a result the economic agents have been used to calculate the prices in euro which is more stable. Romanian Academy. A wing of the new building erected in the 1980s near the Parliament Palace as part of the new civic center. the building is quite big, as you can see in the google Maps picture:

E clar ca te pricepi la povesti, adica la descriere, probabil ca esti in domeniu, la poze la fel, apreciez foarte mult munca ta, totusi incearca sa-ti iei un aparat mai serios sau incearca sa-l setezi mai bine pe al tau pentru a obtine maximul din pozele tale, nu uita ca in oras, e mai dificil sa iei cadre decat in spatiul natural unde lumina este mai multa si umbrele mai putine, in rest, faci o treaba excelenta!

Thank you!
Some photos made yesterday:  Armenian Church and Millennium Business Center. The Armenian Cathedral (1911) and the Armenian Museum in its courtyard is the heart of Armenian community in Bucharest and Romania. The Millenium Tower 72 m tall was illegally built in 2006 too close to a historical monument - the Armenian church, weakening its structure. The building went on fire in 2009 after a big billboard exploded (probably) because it was struck by lightning. After that was evacuated and untill today is in state of abandonment.
