Iasi's Cultural Palace

 This building was built in the very early 20th century and has been undergoing renovation for several years.  It was supposed to be done year before last, but still has a long way to go - especially in the interior.  It's definitely worth saving.  Some of our friends were escorted up to the clock tower, but we declined because it was one of those things frowned on by the authorities.  I hope they finish it soon.  Currently, in the basement, they have banquet halls that are rented out for wedding receptions.  Those, it seems, are gorgeous.
