Inside Achillion Palace

lovely pictures, what detail!!! i like that white carving? looks 3D in the picture?

What a beautiful place. Thankyou for sharing your photos with us.

Absolutely magnificant Alex. We went into this palace many years ago (about 1982) and this blog brings back all those memories. Excellent.

what beautiful art here - loved the pics :)))))))))))))))))

Why wasnt the person who took the photograph shown in the mirror ?

What a beautiful place! Lovely photos.

Thank you Stickitoffee, I like the white "carvings" as well. The boys look like they were stuck to the wall, there were a few of these but I tried to limit myself...no tour guide on the premises that day.....lucky them.

Thank you Dwyllis, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures.

Thank you Sheilar, the first time I visited was 1980 when we were here on holiday. There are a lot of rooms and paths closed now that were open back then. I remember taking the path that lead down to the private beach.....that really impressed me then....your own private beach.

Thanks Paul, glad you like them. There is so much more to see but I didn't want to over do it on the blog.....
I really liked the one of Achilles on his chariot.....I sat down on the top of the stairs to really have a look....I've taken close up pictures, wow.

Dianebulley, those pictures are for another website....

Thank you Nariz, glad you like the pictures.

What a grand place. And it looked so light and airy aswell - lovely restful colours ...

I did! Thank you Alex! The stairwell was my favourite (except for the 'Victorious Empire' painting).

Beautiful interior ... thanks for showing this ... :o)))

Glad you like it Hywel....a little too much going on for my taste...but it was big and airy!!! ;o)))

Glad you liked it Karen, the stairwell was my favorite too. I really loved the painting with Achilles on his chariot...so graphic. I don't like what he did to Hector though but I still sat down on the stairs and stared at the painting.

You are very welcome Shirley. ;o)))

Like the subject and great pictures.

Glad you like the subject and pictures Smileamyl...;o)))
