Budapest - Parliament Street

(Local Name: Országház utca) Országház utca (Parliament Street) is the principal street of the northern Castle Quarter, and Baroque and Classical architecture predominate here.

The former Monastery of St Clare (No. 28), founded in the Middle Ages, was rebuilt by Franz Anton Hillebrandt in the 18th C. Thereafter it was the home of the State Parliament and the High Court of the Hungarian capital. The great hall of this building has been splendidly restored, and highly-valued cultural functions are held here from time to time.
