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:
“While the hollow oak our palace is,
Our heritage the sea.”
—Allan Cunningham (1784–1842)
