I'm torn when it comes to megalomaniac architecture. Basically, I think we don't need architectural records but we cannot deny that the world would be less spectacular without them. I think of the pyramids of Egypt for example. In this particular case it is a shame that so many buildings have been demolished for this giant palace. On the other hand I have to admit that I'd love to visit it. Wow, that is an enormously BIG contribution for the theme day. I'm torn when it comes to megalomaniac architecture.

Famous or infamous, beautiful or ugly, it is really BIG, so a perfect choice for Theme Day! Interesting post and great image.

But since Bucharest is stuck with it, I guess it has no choice but to make the most of the situation. I can understand why it would be such a huge tourist attraction.

The Hermitage in St Petersburg? Versailles? Le Louvre? Amazing – and you've pretty much captured the essence of the stereotype of Bucharest associated with that era.
