| Description: This view of Greenwich from the top of the hill in the Royal Park shows the buildings as they would have been in the 1660s. The Queen's House was completed in 1635. After succeeding to the throne in 1660, Charles II had planned another palace at Greenwich to replace Placentia, which he had demolished. Only one wing of this palace was ever completed. It was later modified and absorbed into the buildings of the Royal Hospital for Seamen. |
