Description
Thank you for stopping by. All your comments and views are greatly appreciated.
In 1964 the original Palace was completely demolished, with only the steel structure of the exhibit hall left standing. The buildings were then reconstructed in permanent, light-weight, poured-in-place concrete, and steel I-beams were hoisted into place for the dome of the rotunda. All the decorations and sculpture were constructed anew. The only changes were the absence of the murals in the dome, two end pylons of the colonnade, and the original ornamentation of the exhibit hall.

Gorgeous shot...but this is in Greece ?
Don't really care where it is-It is now on my pc and look's fantastic
I'm sure they had a good reason for tearing it down and putting it back up again, but really ... what an odd story! You make me SO curious! Excellent image, and a fascinating place.
Excellent picture!
i didn't know about the 1964 reconstruction...what a great idea to save an iconic city landmark. Your photo could be of something in Rome almost two thousand years old.
How interesting it was rebuilt!
