A distant aerial 45-degree angle photograph of a massive fully-enclosed rectangular palace in Antiva. The palace has four complete wings of equal height and style, forming a perfect hollow rectangle around a grand inner courtyard. Every exterior and interior facade features the same ornate Venetian Gothic style, with continuous tiers of delicate white stone arched loggias and stone-carved traceries. The roof is uniform, made of weathered flat lead with decorative white battlements on all four sides. The palace is now surrounded by a cohesive 15th-century historical city. In the background, a wide, majestic river flows behind the palace, with ancient stone bridges and wooden merchant ships. All surrounding buildings are authentic 1400s Mediterranean architecture: terracotta roofs, stone facades, and narrow cobblestone streets. The palace sits on a vast, empty medieval stone plaza. Cinematic golden hour lighting, long shadows, 8k resolution, photorealistic, architectural masterpiece. The majestic river behind the palace is filled with traditional 15th-century wooden gondolas, ancient rowing boats, and historical merchant galleys. All vessels are made of dark wood with white sails and decorative carvings.
