Das Residenzschloss ist ein Renaissancebau in der Innenstadt Dresden.

Almost eight hundred years of living history: The Royal Palace was not only the seat of rulers - but also always the cultural center of Saxony's capital. After severe destruction during the Second World War, it now shines again in its former beauty. With the Dresden State Art Collections, it houses one of the largest collections in Europe. Its treasures include the world-famous Green Vault and the Turkish Chamber.
