Photos of Romania

Exterior of the communist-era Palace of the People in Bucharest, Romania, which was built between 1984 and 1997. The structure is the world's third-largest building by floor area (after the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the Long'ao Building in China) and hosts the two houses of Parliament, three museums, and an international conference center. About two-thirds of the building remains unoccupied.
