My last day . . . I was tired and getting cold. The weather was decidedly not friendly most of the time we were here . . . overcast and rainy and cold, at least cold for the clothing we had brought!
On the U-Bahn, headed for the Charlottenburg Palace (Schloss Charlottenburg).
The Charlottenburg Palace, as might be expected, is a big place. But, like churches, they have a somewhat predictable pattern to them if you've been through enough of them. My captions are general observations at best.
The tour started with the Great Hall to the east, with its size very reminiscent of Versailles.
As with many palaces of this era, the rooms are just endlessly connected or jointly face a long adjacent corridor that stretches the length of one wing.
I have more pictures of the interior, but it's relatively repetitive. In these palaces, the room functions were never really set and varied with the season and the occupant. So from that perspective, they provided for very flexible staging. And like many palace museums, they have a fine selection of dinnerware to show off.
After visiting Charlottenburg Palace, I decided to walk to the Victory Column, which is not far away. But along the way, what do I stumble on to . . . ?
