Royal Palace Amsterdam
This was never meant for a king. It was a merchant republic bragging in marble. I read the whole 17th century in its floor.
Built as the town hall in 1665, when Amsterdam ran a global trading empire. Napoleon's brother turned it into a palace. The republic's swagger in stone.
