The Neues Palais (literally 'new building') is located in Potsdam, a town adjacent to Berlin, in the huge park Sanssouci and has been declared, along with the park itself, World's Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

The building has been one of the last built by the Prussian kings, it was completed in 1769 during the reign of Frederick II the Great, and it is one of the most blatant examples of Rococo architecture.

The rooms in fact, even if inspired by entirely different themes, will leave visitors amazed by the richness and abundance of the decorations that cover the floors, ceilings and walls. Particular attention has been paid to that, as the decorations in each room is different and follows a precise historical past, the only common element is the great Meissen porcelains, which are present in the form of compositions of considerable size.

The building consists of several rooms open to visitors, almost all in small groups of 4-5 persons, wearing big slippers over shoes to avoid damaging the delicate inlaid parquet covering the floor of most of the rooms. This is certainly a wonderful atmosphere in which there is no risk of incurring the classic situation of 'overcrowding' that often characterize the places of artistic interest.
