This is one of the guarded entrances to the Kungliga Slottet (Royal Palace) in Stockholm, Sweden. Kungliga Slottet is the largest royal castle in the world still used for its original purpose. It was constructed on the site of the 'old' royal castle, Tre Kronor, which burned down in 1697. The palace, designed by the court architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, has 608 rooms and took 57 years to complete after the fire.
