I didn’t know much about it at the time, except that it had a beautiful building on it, that I had previously seen. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]914916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]914917[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The palace is actually a bank (built for the intent of commerce and not as a palace to live in) that was built between 1897 and 1900.
