Every city with a bit of history has a Well known palace, one of the best known and favourite palaces in my city Hyderabad, India is Chowmahalla Palace of the ruler of Hyderabad state. It was the official residence of the ruler of Hyderabad while they ruled their state. Including Osman Ali khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad who was on the cover of the year in Time magazine.
Celebrity net worth rated Osman Ali khan as the 6th richest man to ever live in the world
The palace once had the largest collection of rolls Royce's in the world and still has some of the worlds finest cars on display today
The palace has received royalties like King of Russia, prince of wales etc.
All ceremonial functions including the accession to throne of the ruler and receptions were held at this palace.
The prestigious UNESCO Asia Pacific Merit award for cultural heritage conservation was presented to Chowmahalla Palace in 2010
Which palace is best in your city/state/region/country?
