For the first time I found the possibility of visiting the Palazzo dei Trecento during the exhibition commemorating the 100 years of the Air Force. It was a great experience. Ours was very interesting and intriguing, from the photos explained in detail to the samples of suits, even a fighter model. set up outside, it is a marvel for admirers. For those who didn't have the chance, I leave two photos. ??

Palazzo dei Trecento, also known as Palazzo della Ragione, is one of the most important architectures in the historic centre of Treviso, overlooking Piazza dei Signori. Usually open for exhibitions and events. I was there to see the photographic exhibition for the 100 years of the military air force, very beautiful..

Splendid building in the historic center of Treviso. The council chamber which can be visited contains the coats of arms of the city families and is a wooden splendour. Too bad that probably due to the war destruction of 44 this splendid building is surrounded by semi-modern buildings

A visit to this ancient palace completed in the second half of 1200 is well worth it. Maybe accompanied by a bit of history.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
