Mirror Mirror on the Wall
The Hall of Mirrors was the facet of the Amber Palace that most impressed me, I think. The architecture of the palace is so eleborate and detailed already, but then this section of the palace that features shards of glass so beautifully arranged in mosaics on the ceilings and walls was so breathtaking in its detail that it completed the picture of ancient luxury.
You could not go in to see the King and Queen's winter bedroom, but apparently, the room features much of the same glass work. The thousands of miniature mirrors served as means of heating and lighting the room in the winter months because light from the windows during the day or from candles at night would bounce off the tiny surfaces many times over.
