Rodeo Drive
Rodeo Drive’s polished storefronts grew into a global shopping district during the postwar decades. The street’s luxury identity was shaped by individual boutiques and a distinctive approach to hospitality, not simply by the labels displayed in their windows.
Rollins Museum of Art
Rollins Museum of Art is a teaching museum on the Rollins College campus in Winter Park, grouped here with Orlando. Its collection spans centuries, but its location inside a liberal arts campus gives the galleries a particular role: art is encountered as part of learning.

Roppongi Hills
Roppongi Hills gathers offices, shops, homes, art, and public space around Mori Tower, expressing a planned “cultural city” rather than a single-use mall. Its elevated scale makes Tokyo City View and the Mori Art Museum part of the same urban composition as street-level plazas and gardens.
Rotes Rathaus

Royal Botanical Garden
Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden is arranged across terraces that turn scientific collections into a sequence of landscapes. Founded in the eighteenth century and moved to this site in 1781, it remains a research garden as well as a place to encounter plant diversity.
Royal Collections Gallery
The Royal Collections Gallery is built into the slope beside Madrid’s Royal Palace, so the route through its galleries also follows the city’s changing ground. Its chronological displays bring together objects gathered by Spanish monarchs over five centuries, from paintings to arms and tapestries.
Royal Museum (Old Istana Negara)
The former Istana Negara began as a private mansion before becoming the setting for Malaysia’s constitutional monarchy. Its Palladian symmetry and later royal additions record several changes of ownership and national purpose within one building.

Royal Palace Amsterdam
The Royal Palace began as Amsterdam’s seventeenth-century town hall, a statement of civic power built during the city’s commercial height. Its symmetrical classical façade and vast Citizen’s Hall turn marble, sculpture, and painted ceilings into a portrait of the city’s ambitions.
Royal Palace of Madrid
Madrid’s Royal Palace stands on the site of a medieval fortress destroyed by fire in 1734. The eighteenth-century palace was designed to reduce fire risk and house the monarchy’s government, yet it became a residence only for a limited part of each year under Charles III.
Royal Palace of Milan
Milan’s Royal Palace has shifted from town hall to ducal seat, royal residence, and exhibition venue. Its neoclassical façade records a major redesign by Giuseppe Piermarini, while wartime damage and restoration remain part of the building’s story.

Ruins of St Paul's
The Ruins of St. Paul’s preserve the façade and steps of the former Church of Mater Dei, alongside remains of St. Paul’s College. Destroyed by fire in 1835, the monumental stone front now stands as a landmark of Macao’s layered religious history.
Rumah Tangsi
Rumah Tangsi is the heritage-listed former residence of Kuala Lumpur figure Loke Chow Kit, on Jalan Tangsi. Its restored historic setting reflects how private residences have been adapted for public and community use over time.
