temple dedicated to the Roman emperor Augustus were found under the nave.

The length of the main axle is 101 metres and the nave has a height of 26
metres at the dome. The windows have stained glasses and the tower-dome,
which has an octagonal shape, was built in the 13th century. The Cathedral has
19 chapels built throughout the history containing numerous and valuable
sculptures. The main gate has above a large rose window with a diameter of 11
metres. The capitals of the columns from the cloister are sculpted with religious
scenes from the Genesis and the New Testament. The bell tower has a total
height of 70 meters.

The Palace of the Parlament from Bucharest is the second largest
administrative building in the world after the Pentagon in the United States. It
was designed by a 28-year old lady architect and it was nearly completed by the
Ceausescu regime as the seat of political and administrative power, through
wiping out a large section of the historical centre of the city. The building houses
today the Romanian Chamber of Deputies and Senate, the Constitutional Court,
the Legislative council, the National Museum of Contemporary Art etc. The
construction started in 1984 and its halls and galleries are generously decorated

with monumental sculptures, golden plaster, laced ceilings, brocharts, tapestries
and heavy carpert. Divided into 21 parts, the building has 84 metres high
(above point 0 of the ground floor), 275 m long, 235 m wide and 365,000 sqm.
The style of the palace brings together elements of Romanian traditional
architecture (where the Brancovenian style prevails), of Romanian folk
ornamental art (such as the rosette, the symbol of the sun and typical
woodcarvings), but also Renaissance, Germanic and Baroque influences. This
architectural ensemble puts together not only impressive quantities of marble,
steel, concrete and wood essences, but also a huge amount of work. Genuine
Romanian materials have been used and one can say that the entire country
has contributed with something to the construction and decoration of the halls.
The Conference Centre opened inside the Palace of the Parliament has 10
huge halls with marble floors and columns and it can host different major
international events, such as the 20th NATO summit which took place in 2008.
Answer key: a-second, Pentagon; b-Ceausescu; c-Romanian Chamber of
Deputies, Senate; d-1984, 28; e-Brancovenian; f-365,000 sqm; g-The
Conference Centre; h-2008.
