The Finnish Parliament House stands in which European capital?

The Finnish Parliament House stands in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

Known in Finnish as Eduskuntatalo, Parliament House is the seat of Finland’s national legislature, the Eduskunta. It occupies Arkadianmäki hill in the Etu-Töölö district, beside Mannerheimintie, one of central Helsinki’s principal avenues.

The building was designed by Johan Sigfrid Sirén after his architectural proposal, titled Oratoribus, won the 1924 competition. Construction began in 1926, and the completed building opened in 1931. Its restrained Nordic Classicist and stripped-classical design reflects the civic architecture popular in Finland during the interwar period.

Finland’s Parliament is notable for its long history of universal suffrage: Finnish women gained both the right to vote and the right to stand for election in 1906. The building is sometimes confused with Finland’s Presidential Palace or the nearby Helsinki Cathedral, but Parliament House is the legislature’s workplace and is clearly located in Helsinki.
