Royal Palace, Royal palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The Royal Palace combines gold spires, tiered roofs, and traditional Khmer designs across multiple buildings within a walled compound near the Mekong River.
King Norodom initiated the palace construction in 1866, establishing it as the permanent residence for Cambodian monarchs after relocating the capital to Phnom Penh.
The Throne Hall features ceiling frescoes painted by French artists and functions as the center for royal ceremonies, coronations, and diplomatic receptions.
Visitors must cover shoulders and knees when entering the palace complex, with admission tickets available from 8-11 am and 2-5 pm daily.
The Silver Pagoda contains 5000 silver floor tiles weighing 1 kilogram each and preserves a collection of Buddhist artifacts within the palace grounds.
