The Power of Place - Rulers and Their Palaces, Landscapes, Cities and Holy Places

The Power of Place explores the nature of power - the power of kings, emperors, and popes - through the places that these rulers created or developed, including palaces, cities, landscapes, holy places, inauguration sites, and burial places. Ranging across all of Europe from the first to the sixteenth centuries - from Prague and Seville to Palermo and the Oslo Fjord - David Rollason examines how these places conveyed messages of power and what those messages were.
