To get a glimpse of Naha's great past, most visitors tour Shuri Castle, a reconstructed palace from/of the old Ryukyu Kingdom.



Hi,
Do both "from" and "of" fit in the above? If yes, are there subtle nuances? Thanks.

Both are OK.  From indicates origin, of indicates nature; this nuance few will notice.
