Buckingham Palace
February 19, 2009
The Buckingham Palace is a world renown structure, that also is known for being the home of the King and Queen of Britain. The palace has been featured in movies, historical documentaries, and various art for hundreds of years, ever since the palace was first constructed back in 1703. Over the past few decades, many portions of the palace have become more and more accessible to the general public, as well as tourists. As is expected, Buckingham Palace is a must-see for both Londoners and tourists alike.
The current image of the palace has been ingrained into many people’s minds; so much so that some might assume that it has had it’s current appearance since it was built in the 1700’s. However, the palace has undergone many expansions, and more recently, remodeling. It was remodeled to it’s current appearance back in 1913. The interior of the Buckingham Palace has maintained a fairly constant style. Although there are frequent technological updates within the palace, the color scheme and patterns in many areas of the building are the same that they have been for centuries.
Although the monarchy of Britain is becoming more and more symbolic, the symbolism of the Buckingham Palace is no less important. It will remain a very important piece of British history for years to come.
