Wow!! You always hear about Versailles,…now I’m curious and I’ll have to do some research about when each was built. I’ve been to Spain and I really like Madrid, but for some reason, I draw a blank on the palace. I do remember walking down a street and seeing very fancy portraits of the current king and queen under Spanish flags.
With all those little details, you could find something new everyday for the rest of your life. Stunning
It is overly opulent in the Baroque style, but even excessively so for the baroque style. You can see bits of Rococo era and Empire style within.
I visited about a decade ago and it was gorgeous. My friend and I almost got kicked out for giggling so hard because she found a teeny tiny clock in every room which I found hilarious.
Fantastically beautiful!
Well, after all the blood spill and looting done in the Americas, yes it’s a great use of the booty.
