About this audio guide
This guide to the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest starts with a question Nicolae Ceausescu kept asking on his weekly visits to the building sites of the nineteen eighties. It follows Eugeniu Iordachescu, a civil engineer who was not a religious man, as the neighbourhood of Uranus was cleared for the House of the People, and the old church built by Michael the Brave that stood in the way. Best heard facing the main facade, with the long boulevard at your back.
