Sweden, Stockholm
The Swedish Parliament Building, or simply the Riksdag, is located on the small island of Helgeandsholmen, next to the Royal Palace. It was erected in 1897–1905. in neoclassical style with baroque elements designed by architect A. Johansson. Initially, the building consisted of two parts, which housed the parliament and the national bank, but after the reform of 1971 it was merged, reconstructed and given to the use of the Riksdag only. The main entrance of the building is decorated with sculptures and looks like an arch. Inside is a large hall with marble stairs and columns. The main hall in the Riksdag is considered to be the plenary hall or the Chamber of Deputies.
Currently, parliamentary sessions are open, and visitors have access to the old part of the Riksdag building, where the Museum of the Middle Ages and collections of paintings, sculptures and other interesting exhibits are located. On weekends, there are free guided tours by prior registration on the official website of the Parliament. There is also a small park on the island near the Riksdag.
