Bucharest’s grand Palace of the Parliament, commissioned by dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, looms large as a testament to an ambitious and controversial regime. The construction, initiated in 1984, involved the demolition of historic districts, displacing tens of thousands of citizens. Notably, it is the heaviest administrative building worldwide, although much of it remains unoccupied. The colossal structure's fate is precarious as it continues to sink slightly each year.

Pałac Parlamentu w Bukareszcie powoli zapada się pod własnym ciężarem. W olbrzymim budynku znajduje się ponad tysiąc pomieszczeń, z których większość nie jest wykorzystywana. Aby gmach mógł powstać, z centrum stolicy wysiedlono 40 tysięcy mieszkańców.
