The Palace of Westminster
The Palace of Westminster is a Victorian Gothic building that houses the two chambers of the British Parliament. In 1834 a great fire devastated the complex, with only a small part of the original structure surviving. For its reconstruction, in the region of 97 projects were tendered and finally, in late 1847, the project was completed. The new construction included 1200 rooms, 11 courtyards and 3.5 kilometres of corridors.
