Those are wonderful photos of a wonderful palace. Does it use construction materials similar to the original or should I ask if it's using the original construction materials?

i have no idea what they are reconstructing on the side walls..they are redoing some parts of the roof with i guess similiar parts and old parts mixed..
perhaps they are doing some some minor things on the side

i will ask my sister ..she works there weekends
