The building contains many named state rooms, a royal chapel and important collections including the Royal Armoury, and is framed by formal squares and gardens on its east, north and west sides.

As it stood in 1764
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive rectangular palace block of pale limestone and grey granite rising from a rusticated stone base, articulated by giant Ionic columns and Tuscan pilasters across three principal floors, capped by a continuous balustrade dotted with statues and several domed roofing elements. Long symmetrical façades with regularly spaced windows, a central clock and coat of arms, broad staircases to the raised platform, and adjacent formal plazas and terraced gardens define scale and setting.
