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:
“The homely Nurse doth all she can
To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial palace whence he came.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
