A strong reminder of how far a megalomaniac dictator can go, Ceaușescu's palace is open for visitors.
From outside, the building looks colossal, and it is, because it is the second largest building in the world (the first being the Pentagon). To build it, 7000 houses, churches, monasteries, synagogues and a hospital had to be destroyed. Decoration of the palace is lavish, with marble and gold leafs recurrent materials; the building has some 4,500 chandeliers alone! An enormous workload of people (700 architects alone) constructed the building in just 4 years - pity that it did not help the Romanians much. Justice was served because the Ceaușescus did not live to see the building completed.
