Helsinki Parliament House With Corinthian Columns
The architecture of ancient Greece never ceases to amaze me, doesn’t matter if the architecture is Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian. It appears that the Romans’ve been employing this architectural style since they first discovered it. One of the most engaging signature styles is Corinthian columns. When I first saw Helsinki Parliament House, Finland’s primary administrative structure, with a great Red Kalvola Granite framework embellished with 14 tall Corinthian columns, I was intrigued.
A neoclassical structure from the twentieth century was created by renowned architect Borg Siren, who stunned everyone by incorporating modern art into a 200-seat administrative facility. The Helsinki Parliament House is now the city’s most valuable structure. Learning about all of the key-political-moments that have survived the ongoing battles is incredible. If you take a tour of this 5-storey administrative building, you’ll notice that the walls, ceilings, paternoster elevators, and marble staircases all have a historic feel to them.
Each component will transport you to the 18th-century Finnish era when the country’s political legacy began to blossom. Furthermore, the luxurious interior design of the Borg Siren, as well as the praise-worthy granite structure, are the icing on the cake. As you move from the enormous receiving hall to the lobby and then to the plenary room, you will attend to many political stories.
Weekends are the best days to visit. Visit between 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays, 12:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Sundays, and 2 p.m. on weekdays.
In the summer, the Helsinki Parliament House attracts the most visitors. As a result, throughout the months of July and August, the administration building offers free guided tours. If you’re interested in learning more about Helsinki Parliament House, it’s located in Mannerheimintie and is bordered by a variety of restaurants and stores. I highly recommend the Farang and Storyville restaurants in the neighbourhood.
