The decorations of the Wilanów Palace are extremely rich, but what is their meaning? With us you will find the key – you can read encrypted messages from King Jan III and later owners of the residence. Maybe their jokes will amuse you?
Walking through the oldest part of the Palace, we can learn about its history and about the creators of decorations – painters, sculptors, architects – as well as about many people who lived at the Wilanów residence, including the most famous of them all – King Jan III. We will take a close look at the decorations and mythological scenes depicted in paintings. We will discuss the significance of mythological references in the symbolism of the interiors of the Wilanów residence.
Walks available in two versions, route I and route II of the Palace tour.
