World's second-largest building — Ceaușescu destroyed a fifth of Bucharest to build his ego in concrete

The world's second-largest administrative building after the Pentagon — Ceaușescu's megalomania made concrete. Built by destroying a quarter of Bucharest's historic centre with 100,000 workers, it has 1,100 rooms and 12 storeys. The scale is obscene and unforgettable.
