Thank you, Lord! The Bucharest Telephone Palace was designed in the manner of American skyscrapers. Until the 1970s, it was the highest structure in the city. The Politehnica subway station was completed in 1983, and its floors are covered with beautiful marble. It is now one of the most modern stations in Bucharest. The capital of Romania has a number of large buildings, but only two of them are considered world-class examples of architecture. The other one is not a building but rather a bridge... The Băneasa Tower is the second-highest structure in Bucharest (after the Politehnica University Building). It used to be the headquarters of the state oil company Petrolium Român before it moved to Cluj-Napoca. The tower has 88 stories and was built between 1972 and 1979. It is also known as the "Tower of David" because of its resemblance to the Israeli flag. The third-tallest building in Bucharest is the National Bank Building, which used to be the tallest structure in the city. It has 47 floors and was built in 1968. Today it is only the fourth-tallest building in Bucharest. Before these two structures were built, Bucharest had only three other tall buildings: the CEC Bank Building, the Hilton Hotel, and the Thermea Spa Resort.
