What it is Filled
A legislative building used by a country or entity with a parliamentary form of government, providing chambers for debate, committee rooms, offices and public galleries, often designed as a symbol of national identity and democracy, such as the Palace of Westminster in London, rebuilt after an 1834 fire, the Reichstag building in Berlin with its glass dome completed in 1999, the Hungarian Parliament Building and the National Assembly complex in Dhaka designed by Louis Kahn; access, security and heritage conservation are managed by parliamentary authorities, and public tours and gallery access depend on the building's rules and circumstances.
