Dresdner Zwinger Palace is a must-see in Dresden

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Dresden is the capital of the Sachsen dynasty in Germany and the most valuable cultural heritage city in the former East Germany! As a cultural center, Dresden is known as Florence on the Elbe. The Saxon dynasty was ruled by the powerful August der Starke, and the territory he ruled became the largest in European history, with its Zwinger Palace, rich cultural heritage and splendid art and culture. The magnificent Zwinger Palace was also built during his time and currently houses a number of valuable works of art. The ceramic collection here is particularly noteworthy, as it houses porcelains that were coveted by European princes and nobles, including an astonishing number of porcelains imported from China and Japan. As a way of showing off wealth in the 18th century, Chinese and Japanese porcelain were hung on the most prominent walls of the palace for appreciation. There is also the famous Meissen ceramic crafts, which is said to be the largest in the world. However, there are still some unfinished projects in progress, which will more or less affect the viewing experience of taking photos.
