Germany, Austria, Switzerland 2008 / Munich_tower_Residenz 8/18/2008 |
This interesting tower was on one of the interior courts of the Residenz,
which was the family palace of the Wittelsbachs, who ruled Bavaria
for more than 700 years. Gilded imperial Bavarian grandeur
pretty much describes the interior. I toured the Treasury and was
blown away by some of the jewels. Worn in full daylight, I suspect some of
them would have blinded everyone for 100 yards.
