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:
“How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackning Church appalls,
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
