the Palace on the Isle - by night

Let's have a peek inside this charming palace... by night.
We are greeted by Mars, the god of war... but is he fighting? no, he's relaxing, with a putto at his feet.
 He's accompanied by the allegory of Poland at her glory. Obviously - peace has come, so the state is in blossom when the warfare god is having a rest.
 The round room next to the entrance hall further emphasizes how the state can thrive: under the reign of rulers like these Polish kings...
Oh, interiors of the 18th century palaces are full of stories and hidden messages - especially those designed by and for the last Polish king, the enlightened Stanisław.

Normally you visit these interiors in daylight, but every now and then lectures, concerts etc take place here - then you can admire the rooms from a new perspective. I strongly recommend! (at every part of day and night)
