Royal Palace in Brussels

Palais Royal de Bruxelles, Koninklijk Paleis van Brussel
Belgium, Brussel
The building of the Royal Palace stands on the site of the ancient castle of Kaudenberg, which was destroyed by fire in 1731. Then the palace was repeatedly rebuilt and acquired its modern look only at the beginning of the 20th century. From the outside, the building looks ascetic, but inside you can see luxurious decoration. This is the official residence of the Belgian monarchs, but is used by the king mainly for official events. When the king is in the Palace building, the state flag is raised above the building.

We wandered to the Royal Palace, walking through the streets of Brussels. The palace is impossible to miss. It is located opposite the Brussels Park and is separated from it by the Palace Square. The king, of course, does not live in the palace, but official receptions of important people take place here. The entire decor of the palace is made in the Romanesque style - simple and beautiful. The yard is completely decorated with beautiful flowers and shrubs, I admired this greenhouse. For tourists, the castle is also open, you can admire the beauty of the palace, especially since you can visit almost all the halls and private royal chambers.

The royal palace seemed large, empty and boring. It is obvious that the king does not even live there at all, although the Royal Standard on the flagpole was developed. But the square in front of the palace is actively used for mass celebrations of the townspeople. Was not in the museum. Will definitely fix it on my next visit.
