Why Procession of Princes matters
On the outer wall of a palace stable stands a mural of riders, a parade of Saxon rulers over several centuries. It is made of thousands of porcelain tiles, which explains why it survived the war. It stretches for more than a hundred metres, so give yourself time to follow the story along the wall.
