Residenz Palace, Munich

Over the centuries the Wittelsbach dynasty transformed a small, 14th-century moated castle into a magnificent palace, performing the dual functions of royal residence and government seat. Today the palace's state rooms and art collections, which cover the Renaissance, the early baroque period, the rococo era and classicism, form one of the largest museum complexes in Bavaria.
