Palace of Westminster

Palace of Westminster er eit palass i Westminster i London som huser Det britiske parlamentet.

]]

Palasset tar opp ei tomt på 32 400 m² på vestbreidda av Themsen. Tomta er omgitt i aust av 266 meter elvebreidd og i vest av Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square og Millbank. I nord ligg Portcullis House, ein moderne kontorbygning for parlamentsmedlemmer og staben deira, og under bakken ligg Westminster undergrunnsstasjon. I sør er Victoria Tower Gardens, ein liten triangulær park mellom Millbank og Themsen.

Bygningen har omkring 1000 rom, 100 trappeoppgangar og 3 km med korridorar. Andre framståande særpreg er:

  • det 98 meter høge klokketårnet, som huser klokka «Big Ben»
  • Underhuset og Overhuset med sine respektive vestibylar, og med ein sentralvestibyle i hjarta av bygningen
  • Victoria Tower, eit firkanta tårn sørvest for bygningen, som utgjer palassets høgaste element
  • Westminster Hall, bygget 1097–1099 som palassets eldste del

One of the top must place to visit when in London. Tour of the Parliament must be booked in advance via internet. Verry interesting and comprehensive visit. Architecture of the building is amazing.
