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:
“You weep, you weep for the sun an Image.
...
the wind calls hideously,
woe for the children’s fate,
woe for a palace rent,
woe, woe for these who spent
life-blood
in hate.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
