The Greek Parliament

The Greek Parliament, a symbol of democratic governance, has been pivotal since its foundation in 1858.

Designed by François Boulanger and modified by Panagiotis Kalkos, the building showcases classical Greek architectural elements. Initially, it was the permanent home of the Greek Parliament, moving to the Old Royal Palace in 1932 before housing the National Historical Museum. Its façade features grand columns and provides insight into Greece's political history.
