Dresden Castle

You're standing at the Residenzschloss in Dresden, one of the oldest buildings in the city. For almost four hundred years this was home to the rulers of Saxony: first the electors, from 1547, and then the kings, until 1918. Take a good look at the façades. You'll spot a mix of building styles, from Baroque to Neo-Renaissance. That blend is exactly what makes this palace so special.
