Тексты:

Текст А: Henry VIII, a man of great appetites and jealousies, could not bear the thought of being considered a lesser monarch than his continental rivals. The palaces he inherited were rather dingy affairs, and so he decided to build a palace of equal status to that of the King of France. This palace was designed to be the jewel in crown of Renaissance architecture; no building would be its match in all the world. Henry therefore decided to name it Nonsuch.

Текст B: The Domus Aurea — which in English means the Golden House — belonged to the Roman emperor Nero. It was one of the greatest private residences ever built. The Domus Aurea covered no less than 100 acres of the city, and included a vast private pool and mock farms to give the impression of the rural idyll for which many Romans pined. One dining room had a rotating ceiling, allowing the movement of the stars to be seen from the comfort of indoors.

Текст С: Blenheim Palace is the only palace in Britain which isn’t a royal home. It was given to the first Duke of Marlborough for his whipping butt in the War of the Spanish Succession. It is one of the biggest homes in Britain and it is the birthplace of Winston Churchill who proposed to his wife there. Upkeep is a little pricey so you can now buy tickets to tour the place. As an added bonus the current Duke often wanders around and chats with the visitors.

Текст D: Potala palace in Lhasa, the traditional home of the Dalai Lamas, is the highest palace in the world. The current palace is really a synthesis of two palaces, the White and the Red, built at different times. Since the current Dalai Lama fled the Chinese, the palace has become the most popular tourist site in Tibet. Visitors are advised to acclimatize themselves before entering, as they are not allowed to take oxygen supplies into the palace for fear of fire.

Текст E: The Imperial palace in Tokyo is the private residence of the Emperors of Japan. Although it is perhaps the least visually impressive of the palaces on this list, being only two stories high, the site has at times been worth more than the entire state of California. The Japanese economic boom of the 80s, together with the country’s large population density, have left the palace one of the few green spaces left in the city. These days, the palace grounds are said to hold 20 % of Tokyo’s trees.

Текст F: Schönbrunn Palace, in Austria, was once the summer home of the Habsburg emperors. Mozart, when he was six years old, played for the Empress in the ‘hall of mirrors’, and asked to marry her. The palace contains 1,441 rooms and the gardens have a maze over a mile in length. Despite the preponderance of rooms, there was no kitchen within the palace. All the cooking was done in another building, and food carried into the palace by servants.

Текст G: The Palace of Versailles, located a short carriage ride from Paris, was originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII. His successors — in particular Louis XIV — added to it until the name ‘Versailles’ became a byword for opulence. The magnificent reputation of Versailles was increased when Louis XIV decided to have his court permanently reside in the palace; this move, by concentrating his power, allowed him to keep the occasionally fractious nobles within his control.
