Orchy at the Royal Palace
Those following Orchy’s travels for a while know that he is a fan of touring locations that host the Olympics. On a trip a few years ago, he visited one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, which was used to host the equestrian competition for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
This usage calls back to the site’s humble beginnings as a hunting lodge in the 1600s. Over the centuries, this royal residence and its more than 3 square miles of grounds went through numerous expansions and renovations, eventually becoming the amazing museum and park it is today. During that time, in addition to housing kings and queens and at times serving as the de facto capital of the country, the site famously hosted 7-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for a performance for the king, held the treaty signings to end the American Revolutionary War and World War I, and served as ongoing inspiration for buildings and gardens across the world. It’s no wonder it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. Where in the world is Orchy? Submit your guess below for a chance to win!
