For its construction, and for the construction of the boulevards that surround it, the communists had to demolish an old neighbourhood in Bucharest, the size of a small city. The communists liked to call the building „The People’s House”, and absolutely every raw material, decoration and furniture used for it is entirely made in Romania. Nowadays it houses the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, three museums and an international conference center.
Tourists can visit less than 10% of the rooms inside, and the tour takes approximately 2 hours.
