It's a pretty known fact that palaces are always brimmed with artworks of all kind, but did you know that Buckingham Palace has over 7,000 paintings? Beat that!

On top of that, the residence houses nearly half a million photos, not to mention the endless list of sculptures, books, and even carriages. The so-called Queen's Gallery harbors some of these pieces of art and it's open to the public.

For every palace in the world, there are rumors of ghosts and spirits roaming around its halls at nighttime. And obviously, Buckingham Palace is no exception.

Several decades ago, a private secretary of King Edward VIII killed himself inside the building after divorcing his wife. Legend has it that the sound of the gunshot can still be heard at night in the very same room where the tragic event took place.
