The Hellenic Parliament ( of Greece , located in Syntagma Square in Athens . THE BUILDING The building, designed by Friedrich Von Gärtner , originally served as a Palace for the Greek monarch, until 1924, when a referendum abolished the monarcy. For a 2 year period, the building was used for many different purposes -- functioning as a makeshift hospital and a museum among other things -- until September , 1926 , when the government decided that the building would instead house the Parliament. Improvements are ongoing, some of them significant (such as the addition of an 800-vehicle underground parking structure), to ensure that the building can continue to function effectively.
