Introduction
The Wittelsbach Palace in the center of Munich, Germany, was built in 1385 and has gradually expanded over time. It was the residence of the rulers, dukes, and kings of Bavaria until 1918. Today, the palace is open to visitors, showcasing its architecture, interior decorations, and royal collections. The Munich Palace consists of ten courtyards and museums, with 130 exhibition rooms. It is divided into three main parts: the King's Building (Königsbau) near Max-Joseph-Platz, the Old Residence (Alte Residenz) facing the Palace Street, and the Festsaalbau, Altes Residenztheater, and Schatzkammer facing the Palace Garden. The Palace Treasure House exhibits a remarkable collection of gold and silverware, enamel crafts, crystal, ivory products, and more, representing the heritage of royal residences over five centuries. Visitors can also admire the reconstructed King's Suite at the Palace Museum. If you plan to visit multiple attractions, it is recommended to purchase a combination ticket from the Bavarian Palace Department (refer to their website: http://www.schloesser.bayern.de/englisch/palace/objects/jahresk.htm).
