Exterior of the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta (officially known as The Palace), which once housed the Grandmaster of the Order of St. John, and now is the home for the Maltese President (well, not literally, the official residence for the president is outside of Valletta).
The construction of the palace begun in 1574, but the place saw substantial renovation work when Manuel Pinto da Fonseca became Gransmaster in 1741 - and the current look of the palace owes much to him.

Blenheim Palace, residence near Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, built (1705–24) by the English Parliament as a national gift to John Churchill, 1st duke of Marlborough. During the War of the Spanish Succession, he had led the English to victory over the French and Bavarians at the Battle of Blenheim in Germany in 1704.
The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, with a great deal of involvement by Nicholas Hawksmoor, and is regarded as the finest example of truly Baroque architecture in Great Britain. (Source; Britannica)
We visited the Gyeongbokgung palace and were suprised by the amount of snow there. I think the palace must be on top of a hill.
Was wäre London wohl ohne das Parlament und den Big Ben? Nicht nur das Gebäude an sich, sondern auch das Leben drum herum interessiert mich. Wie ist es so unter all diesen berühmten Gebäuden zu Leben? Klar ich komme aus Bayern, bin es also gewohnt mit altem Zeug um mich rum und trotzdem ist London doch eine ganz andere Welt für mich.
What would London probably without Parliament and the Big Ben? Not only the building itself, but also the lives of all around me interested. As it is so famous among all these buildings to life? Clear I come from Bavaria, am so used to the old stuff around me and yet London is but a completely different world for me.

In the middle of La Concha Bay, there is an imposing English-style palace on a hill. This outer palace of the Spanish Royal Family was built in 1893 by Queen María Cristina. She had skin problems and therefore often came to the coast in San Sebastián to take salt baths. Today, the palace serves, among other things, for cultural purposes and the University of the Basque Country gives summer courses to students. A beautiful garden has been laid out around the palace with green lawns and colorful flowers.
