THE UK PARLIAMENT:

It is one of the oldest European parliament. There are many diferent parliaments in the world that work like this.

All the building is known as: "Houses of the Parliament", and it has got two big towers. The tallest, with a clock is called: "Big Ben". But few people knows that this name was given becouse the man who directed the construction was Benjamin Hall, and that man put inside the tower a big bell. By the way, if you can see a light on the top of this tower in the night, that means that there is a night meeting in the parliament.
The name of the smaller tower is Victoria Tower, and they built it two years later, in 1860, so you can easily imagine that The Big Ben was built in 1858.

You can find more than thousand chambers in the Houses of the Parliament.

But the really important thing is that there are, House of the Commons and House of Lords inside it too.
