Its symmetrical fa\u00e7ade, pointed spires, stained-glass windows, and grand central dome create an appearance that is both solemn and majestic. The dome, rising 96 meters high, carries symbolic meaning linked to the year 896, marking the settlement of the Magyar people in the Carpathian Basin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"956\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13438 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hoangthanhthanglong.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/toa-nha-quoc-hoi-uruguay-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"956\"><em>Photo: Lookphotos<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1247\">The interior of the Hungarian Parliament Building is richly decorated with more than 40 kilograms of gold, elaborate frescoes, sculptures, and intricate ornamental details. It also houses some of Hungary\u2019s most important national treasures, including the Holy Crown of St. Stephen, a sacred symbol of the Hungarian state.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1247\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13439 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hoangthanhthanglong.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/toa-nha-quoc-hoi-uruguay-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1282\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1247\"><em>Photo: MecroPress<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2999\" data-end=\"3261\">Beyond its political function, the building serves as a cultural and architectural landmark of Budapest.
