Hello Steemians,

This is a photo of the Hellenic Parliament in Athens, Greece.

P1120794.JPG

It is housed in the Old Royal Palace, donated by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to his son King Otto of Greece, and his wife Queen Amalia. The palace was designed by Bavarian architect Friedrich von Gärtner (1).

After the fall of the monarchy, it was used in many different ways, until it became permanently the seat of the Greek Government in 1934.
