Xanadu Palace was the imperial palace for the Mongol empire for Kublai Khan in Xanadu. The palace was 550 square metres in size, some 40% of the size of the current Forbidden city in Beijing.
Only brick platforms and earthen walls of the palace remain today.
Famous quotes containing the word palace:
“It ain’t home t’ ye, though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow yer soul is sort o’ wrapped round everything.”
—Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)
