I went to a class on Sunday in the palace on post here. When I entered into the foyer of the palace my jaw hit the floor. Everything was marble or some sort of rare form of granite. The pillars were dark Grey marble accented with light sort of bone colored marble and capped with inlays of red granite. From the ceiling hung a chandelier that had to be about 15 feet across attached to a downward conical array of sky lights cased in wood and crowned in 3D mosaic tiling. The bathrooms were as impressive; the fixtures were real porcelain with abalone accent, a hand painted flower trim pinstriped in real gold. The spiral stairs were solid marble, but the quality was amazing and the veiny inconsistencies were perfect for the overall effect. Everything was amazingly detailed and though in places you could see the evidence of war, in all the palace was just breathtaking. These are just a few pictures that really don't do it justice but short of actually being here, the grandeur of this place just can not be conveyed in mere pictures.
By the way, all my pictures are date stamped on purpose so that you all know when I took them.
That is the nicest bathroom you will ever see in the Army, LOL!
