Chamber of Peers_Hungarian Parliament_Budapest_(20230426_085827a)
This picture shows the Chamber of Peers within the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, Hungary.

For centuries, the Hungarian national assembly was a bicameral system with upper and lower houses, the Peers and Representatives respectively. In December 1944 the system changed to unicameral, and since then only the chamber of the Representatives has been used by the National Assembly for legislative purposes. 

The chamber here; the Chamber of Peers (Upper House) is now a venue for special events and conferences, and forms part of the route for visitors to the Parliament building.  

The seating in the Chamber of Peers is arranged in a horseshoe-shape layout.
The Speaker's podium is backdropped by illustrations of the coats of arms of the Hungarian dynasties, with the coat of arms of Hungary in the centre. The murals on the long wall surfaces, to each side of the Speaker's podium, depict scenes illustrating the historical importance of the nobility.
