What travelers say:
It is worth seeing, although the old congressional site I want to see has seen nothing, but see the volcanic lava rocks, moss and Lubinghua covering the old site.

In 930 AD, an open-air parliament was established on the Thingvellir plain, marking the existence of Iceland as an independent country. This is the very oldest parliament in the world. Until 1799, it was the regular meeting place. The former Congress site is actually an empty flat land next to a long and wide fault, which is the junction of the Eurasian and American plates. Standing on the rocks of the Eurasian plate and overlooking the distance, there is a vast plain opposite, with the curved Parliament Lake in the middle, which is the largest natural lake in Iceland. Amid the drifting snowflakes and the faint haze, Capitol Lake appears and disappears from time to time, showing a bit of tranquility and mystery. If it is in summer, the scenery here will be clearer, the green grass, the curved water, and the flocks of birds are very beautiful.

The old site of the Parliament House was built by Denmark from 1880 to 1881, and the whole building is very simple and atmospheric, and the dark brown brick structure is very solemn, and now only the debate hall and a few small conference rooms are still in use.
The former site of the Capitol is a small two-story building built in the 19th century, designed by Danish designers on the square, but the whole building looks integrated and beautiful, and the interior is now a showroom.
This place is the former site of the Capitol, although it is a building, but this old site only two floors of a small building, the black and gray building does not have much character, but it is also a famous local attraction.
The former site of the Capitol was built in the 1880s by Denmark, a two-story building with a dark brown brick structure with a small garden in front and back. It's still pretty.
