No. not one of the 2 answers. Although the viaduct does get some mention, I would consider it a structure rather than a building (like a bridge).
In terms of sheer volume of bricks, I'd guess the Coliseum in Rome?
That hideous palace in Bucharest?
No.Quote:

No. But it is the largest building in europe.Quote:
