Tailer's Family - journeying!
Project: Sweden - Stockholm, Gamla Stan
Following the Riksgatan through the Riksdagshuset - Parliament. We have a clear view of the top of the Storkyrkan - Cathedral on Gamla Stan.
"Until 1905, during the bicameral period, the Swedish Parliament had its seat in Fleming Palace on Riddarholmen Island. It was then moved to a new building on Helgeandsholmen, but in 1971, due to lack of space, it had to be expanded, connecting the old palace with the one that had originally held the National Bank. Upon completion of the work in 1983, the new seat was opened to hold sessions of the unicameral Parliament in an enormous, practicaql, modern hall with the walls entirely pannelled in light birchwood. In the large inner halls, which still have interesting early 20th century architectural elements, including some imposing granite columns and marble staircases, there is an exquisite collection of paintings. Parliament still has some offices in Gamla Stan, which are connected by a network of underground passageways, while other government buildings are located in the City." - Guidebook.
