What an incredible beauty !

Warsaw (Poland)

The Royal way that starts at the Royal Castle,
leads to the Royal residency of Wilanow, the 17th century
home of King Jan III Sobieski.

The baroque-style Wilanow Palace was designed by many famous artists
including Michelangelo. The history of the Palace began on April 23, 1677,
when a village became the property of King.

At the beginning, the residence built there was small,
but due to military successes and an increase of the importance of royalty,
it was reconstructed into a wonderful, huge royal palace in the years 1677-1696.
After completion, the building was comprised of elements that showed a house
belonging to nobility -
an Italian garden villa, and a French palace in the style of Louis XIV.
