Az Országos Levéltár már száz éve uralja a Bécsi kapu tér látványát, egyben őrzi a magyar államiság kulcsfontosságú dokumentumait: a legrégebbi itt őrzött irat 1109-ből származik, azonban története Szent Istvánig nyúlik vissza. A Pecz Samu által tervezett
historizáló épület egyedülálló, mivel kizárólag levéltári célokra épült 1913 és 1923 között.
