Built in 1957 by departed communists, The House of the Free Press (Casa Presei Libere) hosts many of the local newspapers, and some publishing houses, too. It’s 104 m (341 ft) tall (antenna included) and spreads over a surface of 32,000 m2. The great earthquake of 1977 caught my grandmother inside, who still tells stories of great wall mirrors shattering to great effect.
