Dresden Castle, Royal palace and museum in Dresden, Germany
The Renaissance palace spans multiple floors containing exhibition spaces, art galleries, and ceremonial rooms connected by grand staircases and corridors.
The castle served as the residence for Saxon electors from 1547 to 1806 and later for kings until 1918, including periods housing Polish monarchs.
The Historic Green Vault within the castle displays 3,000 pieces of extraordinary jewelry and goldsmith works from European royal collections.
