The Royal Palace in Stockholm

The Royal Palace is the official residence of His Majesty the King of Sweden
The palace was built in the 18th century in the Italian Baroque style 
It is one of the largest palaces in Europe
Most areas are open to the public and also has five museums on the grounds
Part of the Tre Kronor Museum 
Seven floors in the Palace which still serves as the Royal residence, workplace and cultural historic monument which makes it very unique 
Walking the halls and seeing amazing pieces 
From visiting Heads of State
Just because it is odd........like me lol
The Royal Guards has protected the palace and the Royal Family since 1523
An old clock above and below a more recognizable timepiece......which is a tradition that a guest from another country would donate to the palace 
They are offices here for the Royal Court of Sweden which has around 200 employees 
Over 1400 rooms in the Palace.......must be some old secrets hiding in this one though haha
What the old castle looked like before it burnt down in 1697 and now the grounds where the Palace sits
