CARACTÉRISTIQUESPRINCIPALES DU STYLE

Built in neo-Greek style, which was popular during the 19th century Classic revival with elements harmonizing with the others. This

style has principally derived from the architecture of Classical Greece, Rome and the Italian architect Andrea Palladio. One of the building's most famous feature is the Pallas Athena fountain in front of the main

entrance. Theophil Edvard Hansen was inspired by the design of the Zappeion in

Athens.

UTILISATION/FONCTION

Today, the Parliament building is the seat of the two houses – the National Council and

the Federal Council – of the Austrian Parliament. It is the site of important state ceremonies, most notably the swearing – in cerimony of the President of Austria and the

state speech on Nation Day.
