Buckingham Palace, located in the heart of London, is one of the most prominent and well-known landmarks in the world. It is also a symbol of the British monarchy and the long-standing traditions of the royal household. The palace was originally built in 1703 as a townhouse for the Duke of Buckingham. Later, in 1761, King George III purchased it as a private residence, and in 1837, it became the official residence of the British monarch, starting with Queen Victoria’s reign.

Buckingham Palace features distinctive neoclassical architecture, characterized by a symmetrical facade, large columns, and intricate detailing. Inside, the palace comprises more than 775 rooms, including throne rooms, art galleries, and royal reception rooms, reflecting its grandeur and opulence.

During certain summer periods, parts of the palace open to the public, especially the State Rooms, which are lavishly decorated, along with the expansive and beautiful palace gardens. Visitors can also witness the famous Changing the Guard ceremony held with great pomp and circumstance outside the palace, where guards dressed in iconic red tunics and bearskin hats perform the formal handover with precision and dignity.

Buckingham Palace is not only the residence of the royal family but also a repository of priceless artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and important artifacts that are accessible to the public. It remains one of the most sought-after destinations for tourists from around the globe.
