The Palace of the Parliament (Romanian: [i]Palatul Parlamentului[/i]) is the current official name of the massive, multi-purpose central building (in essence a palace) built by former Romanian dictator [[Nicolae Ceausescu]]. 
However, Romanians commonly refer to it as "the People's House" ([i]Casa Poporului[/i]). 
Today, this negative heritage of the Ceausescu regime is the only tourist attraction in Bucharest due to a lot of Bucharest being cleared to make way for the colossal building in the years following the 1977 earthquake.
