18. The Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna Finished in 1883, it is a palatial structure, showcasing Austria’s imperial past and democratic present.
12. The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest Completed in 1904, is a splendid example of Neo-Gothic architecture, showcasing Hungary's rich history and culture.
7. The Beehive in Wellington, New Zealand Completed in 1981, is a unique example of modern architecture, symbolizing New Zealand’s forward-thinking governance.
