In Behind Facades the reader is treated to an exclusive view of five of the world's architectural treasures, each a different building type - a cathedral, a palace, a theater, a castle, and a residence. At the turn of a page, magnificent facades open to reveal stunningly splendid interiors. Meticulously detailed panoramic illustrations present, at a glance, the defining architectural features of each of these remarkable structures: St.

Peter's Cathedral, Rome; Buckingham Palace, London; the Paris Opera (now Opera Garnier), Paris; King Ludwig's Castle (Neuschwanstein), Bavaria; and Monticello, Virginia.

In addition to the foldout double gatefolds, Behind Facades includes a wealth of full-color photographs and specially commissioned cross-sections, drawings, and floor plans - more than 100 in all. Complementing this visual feast is authoritative text illuminating the history of each building, with revealing anecdotes about the people and events involved in their creation.
