Palace - Photography Contest [33 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

71.3%

Contest goal:

There were so many kingdoms and kings in the history and they used to live or they/their family still live in "Palace". Most of them show extraordinary art or design on their exterior. So let us show the Palace of any kingdom/king in your town/city or some where else you once visited. But the rule is- it should be the external view and NOT the interior of the palace.
It has to be a place where people live or have lived in (permanently), Churches are off theme
You must tell us what palace we are seeing.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

alerizzo: Hehe, lucky us Europeans!

Contest Moderator: This contest is about royal palaces and castles, not churches, hotels or theme parks. ( 5 years and 2669 days ago )

MnMCarta: You didn't say a FORT! HEHEHEHE ( 5 years and 2669 days ago )

MossyB: We have a Bingo Palace, but although some people seem like they live there, it's not permanently... ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

FallingHorse: I think by the restricting the goal to real palaces/castles has limited this contest to those that live in Europe. Perhaps instead of 'talent levels' we need to change it to "Geographic regions". Not everyone has the opportunity for world travel, there are many people that consider themselves lucky to even own a camera. ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Not everybody can expect to compete in every contest, and this one has entries from members living on several different continents. ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

MakenzieW1: Can it have housed a king or queen PRIOR to them actually being crowned or does it have to be lived in during their reign? ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

Contest Moderator: We are looking for real royal palaces, so I guess it depends on how majestic the building is that you are thinking about. ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

MakenzieW1: Can it have housed a king or queen PRIOR to them actually being crowned or does it have to be lived in during their reign? ( 5 years and 2667 days ago )

MakenzieW1: Guess I'll post it and see, it's a pretty cool castle so I think it's majestic.

The so-called "Patio de las Doncellas",part of the "Palacio de Don Pedro" from one of the wonderfully decorated rooms of the Royal Alcazar in Seville.

The Alcazar of Seville was originally a Moorish fort.
Its construction was ordered by Abd Al Rahman III, emir and caliph of Cordoba, in the year 913.

Because of its beauty it was chosen as residence by many monarchs in the centuries that followed. It now is the residence of His Royal Majesty Juan Carlos when he visits Seville. (5 years and 2667 days ago)
