Palaces

Krakow Castle
Krakow viewed from a window of the castle.
Wilanow Palace, Warsaw.
Wilanow Palace: a view across the courtyard.

One of many towers of Wilanow Palace, Warsaw
Royal Palace, Warsaw, totally destroyed in World War II,
rebuilt around 1980.
Palace in the park at night: where we heard a Mozart concert.
The Palace of Culture -- a gift from Stalin to the people of Warsaw in the 1950s.
What they really wanted was a subway. What Stalin really wanted was something visible.
Modern skyscrapers in the background: today's palaces?
