(Local Name: Paleá Anáktora) The Parliament, a fine Classical building erected 1834-38 on plans of the architect Friedrich von Gärtner, dominates the east side of Syntagma Square. The complex which served Kings Otto I and George I as a residence, is 115m/377ft long and 95m/312ft deep. It is laid out around two inner courtyards. The 21m/70ft long portico with 10 Doric columns facing the square and the 44m/144ft long south gallery with 16 Doric columns facing the National Garden are a souvenir of the original plans of Leo von Klenze.
