A long square rhat separates the palace from the park. The middle axis of the park marks both the middle peristyle of the palace and the middle of the facing building on the other side of the park, which is the Palace of the Nation the Belgian Federal Parliament building. The two facing buildings are said to symbolize Belgium`s system of government: a constitutional monarchy. As often mentioned it has a facade 50% longer than that of Buckingham Palace .
