I tried to find the picture to which you're referring? Any chance you could find or upload it? That would help greatly. Might it be the Taj?

For Civ 2 Gold city view it's Taj Mahal. For Civ 2 Tot Civilopedia bitmap, I think it is a palace in France although I forget the name.

Civ2 Classic also has Taj Mahal under Palace, which is a hoot because the Taj Mahal is a mausoleum, not a palace. Anyway, the city it is located in is Agra, in India. The Taj has tall, narrow towers in each corner and an onion dome.

The most famous palace in France is Versailles, in near Paris.

Seeking Internet help is legal, right?

Ya thats what i was looking for thank you very much for the help guys.
Also its legal.
Its a mausoleum I never knew that, I always thought it was a palace just from the way it looks and its in the game under palace. Maybe i shouldn't rely on civ2 to much for historic accuracy

The most famous palace in France is Versailles, in Paris.

Technically speaking I think the palace is in Versailles, which I believe is now a Paris suburb. But I'm pretty sure it's not in the Paris city limits.

Well, you have to admit, the Taj Majal looks pretty cool ... even as 12x20 gif.

The Taj-Mahal was built by a ruler as a tomb for his favourite wife and originally he planed a second unit in all-black next to the Taj for himself, but his heirs cancelled the project, seems they prefered to keep all that money for them selfs. Greedy B's ...

I often wonder why Shah Jahan, the Indian ruler who built Taj Mahal, called it that when it was meant to be a tomb: Taj means crown and Mahal means place.
