The Victoria Palace (Romanian: Palatul Victoria) is a government building on the large Victory Square (Piața Victoriei) in Bucharest, housing the Prime Minister of Romania and his cabinet.
The Victory Palace is a stylised monumental classical design, with an arcaded ground level, a long colonnade of slim piers on the main front, and two recessed top floors.
[1] The facades were entirely clad in Carrara marble, with reliefs in the panels at either end, and there were generously decorated interiors.
[2] The building suffered heavy damage in the 1944 German bombing of Bucharest in World War II.
It then underwent significant restoration and reconstruction works, being reclad in travertine, without the reliefs and less ornate interiors, finally opening in 1952, housing the headquarters of Foreign Ministry and the Council of Ministers.
