Which is the best Palace you've been to?

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.Screenshot_2017-04-09-06-00-13.png

 

 Celebrity net worth rated Osman Ali khan as the 6th richest man to ever live in the world
