Catalan Music Palace in Sant Pere Més Alt Street of Barcelona, in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhood of the Old Town. The construction of Catalan Music Palace, designed by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, one of the greatest representatives of Catalan modernism together with Antoni Gaudí and Josep Puig i Cadafalch, was carried out between 1905 and 1908 combining very advanced structural solutions with others of Gothic inspiration, and with the integration of all the applied arts: sculpture, mosaic, stained glass and forging. The building was commissioned by the Orfeó Català, founded in 1891 by Lluís Millet and Amadeu Vives, to be its headquarters, and was sponsored by the same Catalan music-loving industrialists and investors who 60 years earlier had financed the construction of the great theater of opera and ballet in Barcelona, the Liceu. In 1997, UNESCO included Catalan Music Palace in the catalog of the Common World Heritage.
The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

The Achilleion Palace is a must see if you visit the Greek island of Corfu. It was built in 1890 , in a unique Neoclassical style , for the empress Elisabeth ,as a refuge ,after the tragic loss of her only son (at Mayerling). Intending to represent a Phaeacian palace with much Greek mythology decoration, it centres on Achilles...a favourite of Elisabeth. .The richly decorated interior is perhaps OTT for some/many but I was captivated by it all.

Palace in Radziejowice as it looks in the Spring. This part of the palace is called "small castle" :)
The Palace in Radziejowice is a complex of Classical residences surrounded by a park, located in the village of Radziejowice, Poland. The location of the palace was already the site of a residence for the Radziejowski family in the 15th century. During the 17th century, the palace, after various expansions and modernisations, took on the Gothic architectural style, as did the other buildings in the complex. During the complex's greatest time of magnificence, the palace was a residence to various Kings of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Zygmund III Waza, Władysław IV and Jan III Sobieski. The current look of the complex comes from the turning point of the 18th and 19th centuries, after Kazimierz Krasiński's reconstruction of the complex, designed and by Jakub Kubicki. The expansion of the complex was later continued by Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński, who had built the surrounding landscape park and the small Neo-Gothic castle. The castle and complex were devastated during World War II, but the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has thoroughly restored the site to its former beauty. Since 1965 the complex has performed the function of a cultural centre, including fine arts. Today the palace houses a museum and an exhibition space.

Pałac w Radziejowicach w wiosennej scenerii. Widoczna na zdjęciu część pałacu nazywana jest "zameczkiem" :)
Zespół pałacowo-parkowy w Radziejowicach – pałac w stylu klasycystycznym wraz z otaczającym go parkiem, położone we wsi Radziejowice w powiecie żyrardowskim. W XV wieku, obok istniejącego obecnie pałacu klasycystycznego z XIX wieku, wznosiła się wieża mieszkalna, będąca siedzibą rodu Radziejowskich. Nieopodal wieży, na początku XVII wieku wojewoda łęczycki Stanisław Radziejowski, polecił zbudować wczesnobarokowy pałac z umieszczoną w elewacji długą arkadową galerią z widokiem na ogród. W czasie największej świetności Radziejowic, gdy zarządzał nimi Stanisław Radziejowski bywał tu król Zygmunt III Waza, a od 22 do 25 listopada 1632 roku przebywał król Władysław IV Waza oraz później także Jan III Sobieski. Obecną postać pałac otrzymał na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku. W czasie II wojny światowej pałac został zajęty przez Niemców na szpital dla żołnierzy, a następnie zdewastowany przez żołnierzy Armii Czerwonej. W 1956 roku pozostałości radziejowickiego majątku stały się własnością Warszawskiego Stowarzyszenia Historyków Sztuki i postanowiono wówczas utworzyć w pałacu Dom Pracy Twórczej. Obecnie często bywają tam pisarze, publicyści, aktorzy, filmowcy, muzycy i plastycy. Pałac mieści także sale muzealne i galerię wystaw czasowych.

The Palace of Westminster serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Informally known as the Houses of Parliament, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London, England.
The Palace is one of the centers of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament and the British Government, and the Westminster system of government commemorates the name of the palace. The Elizabeth Tower, in particular, often referred to by the name of its main bell, Big Ben, has become an iconic landmark of London and of the United Kingdom in general, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, and an emblem of parliamentary democracy. The Palace of Westminster has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987
The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".
C'était à l’origine un monastère fondé par le roi d'Écosse, David Ier en 1128. Il a servi comme résidence principale des rois et reines d’Écosse depuis le XVe siècle. C'est la résidence de la reine Élisabeth II lors de ses séjours officiels en Écosse. Il se situe à l'extrémité du Royal Mile, à l'opposé de la forteresse médiévale. Le palais est ouvert au public hors période où la reine y réside.
