Buckingham Palace
The palace is the official residence of Queen Elizabeth and
serves as a center for much of the state functions of the UK. This building is
interesting due to its age, it was built originally in 1703 and has lived
through both world wars (it sustained a number of direct hits in the bombings)
and has seen the invention of electricity (which was first installed in the
ballroom in 1883). Buckingham palace is a sight to behold and certainly worth a
stop if one happened to be in London.
If I were to deliberate on the building this post would go
well over one page if interested check out some of the interesting history at:
