This building is the center of the two Rooms of the Austrian parliament, the palace rises on the left side of the Ring, forehead to the Volksgarten, and was constructed in 1873-83 from T. Hansen, inspiring itself to the Greek architecture. The immense building has the facade with the shape of a temple, with pronao and fronton and of two wings with final semicolumns and in two smaller pavilions like a small temple; 60 statues of eminent personages of the Greek and Roman antiquity crown the attic. Majestic is the double ramp that go to the body centers, adorned of four bronze groups of dominators of horses, statues of ancients personages and preceded from the Fountain of Pallas Athena, work of Hansen, with statue of K. Kundmann (1902). Inside the building it is interesting the Saulenhalle, hall to peristyle, on 24 gigantic monolitic columns with corinz caphitel. Leave a Comment
