London, Velika Britanija
Buckingham Palace is the London home and the administrative center of the British royal family. The massive building and wide-ranging gardens are a significant site of ceremonial and political affairs in the United Kingdom, as well as a major tourist attraction. However, for a monarchy that dates back almost a thousand years, Buckingham Palace is a relatively recent home.
The palace takes its name from the house built (1705) for John Sheffield, duke of Buckingham. It was bought in 1762 by George III for his wife - Queen Charlotte, and became known as the “queen’s house”.
Inside the palace the Gallery exhibits works from the royal art collection.
The changing of the guard occurs regularly.
