Charlottenburg Palace is a baroque palace located in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, Germany. It was built as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, the wife of Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg, in the late 17th century. The palace was heavily damaged during World War II, but has since been restored to its former glory.

The palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens, including the Baroque Garden and the English Garden, which are open to the public. Inside the palace, visitors can see the opulent state rooms, including the Porcelain Cabinet, the White Hall, and the Golden Gallery. There is also a collection of paintings, sculptures, and other decorative arts on display.

One of the most impressive features of the palace is the New Wing, which was added in the 18th century. This wing includes the beautiful Golden Dome, which is decorated with frescoes and gold leaf. The New Wing also houses the Collection of Ancient Sculptures, which includes works from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Today, Charlottenburg Palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Berlin, drawing visitors from all over the world to experience its stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and rich history.
