The Eduskunta is the 200 member unicameral parliament of Finland. It meets at the Parliament House in Helsinki.

In 1923, a competition selected the present site, hillside on Mannerheimintie, for the new Finnish Parliament House. In 1924 a design competition for the building was won by the architectural firm of Borg–Sirén–Åberg. Johan Sigfrid Sirén was select to design the building.

The four story Neo-Classical Parliament Building was constructed between 1926 and 1931 and opened on March 7, 1931. The exterior is made of red granite. The most striking feature of the façade is a colonnade of fourteen columns each topped with a Corinthian capital. A flight of steps the length of the colonnade leads up to the main lobby on the first floor. Above the colonnade is a series of circular windows.
