Palais du Patriarche

The Palace of the Chamber of Deputies (Romanian: Palatul Camerei Deputaților), now the Palace of the Patriarchate (Palatul Patriarhiei), and also known as the Palace of the Great National Assembly (Palatul Marii Adunări Naționale) during the Communist regime, is a building in Bucharest, Romania, located on the plateau of Dealul Mitropoliei. The building served as the seat of successive Romanian legislatures: of the Assembly of Deputies during the Kingdom of Romania, then of the Communist-era Great National Assembly, and after the Romanian Revolution of 1989, of the Chamber of Deputies. Parliamentarians vacated the building in 1997, when it passed to the Patriarchate of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
