NICOLAE CEAUSESCU: Romania’s communist leader began construction in the 1980s on Bucharest’s massive “People’s Palace,” which today houses the Romanian parliament.
Before they were ousted and executed, Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, lived in an elaborately decorated villa that was kept secret until it opened to the public in 2016.
