Bucuresti Grand Prix 2025

Neither the tallest skyscraper in the Middle East or China, nor even the largest temple in the world, the heaviest building constructed by mankind is the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, weighing in at just over 4 million tons (in size, it’s the third-largest administrative building in the world after the American Pentagon and the Long’ao of Jinan in China). Its volume, 2,550,000 cubic meters, exceeds that of the Great Pyramid of Giza and is the third largest in the world, after the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center and the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid in Mexico. And this weekend it will host a chess tournament – the Bucuresti Grand Prix 2025.
