The Main Entrance of the European Parliament in Strasbourg with Member States' Flags

The photograph portrays the main entrance of the Louise Weiss building of the European Parliament seen from the esplanade in front. The imposing cylindrical glass and steel structure rises majestically in the twilight, while information panels display messages in the various languages of the Union. The flags of member states, arranged along the perimeter, wave in front of the building. The architectural choice of the unfinished structure, with a missing portion of the cylinder, symbolizes the European Union's openness to new members. Strasbourg shares with Brussels and Luxembourg the role of seat of European institutions.
