Opened in 1894, the Reichstag was constructed to be the first parliament of the German Empire. In 1933 it was severely damaged in a fire and it remained in a bad state until it was completely reconstructed by the famous architect Norman Foster. In the very top of the building is the iconic glass dome with a 360 degree view of the city, which is open for the public. Nowadays the German parliament, the Bundestag, makes use of this prominent landmark.
