Anhak Palace, Royal palace in Taesong District, Pyongyang, North Korea

The palace complex spans 380,000 square meters with 52 buildings arranged symmetrically along three north-south axes at Mount Taesong's base.

Built in 427 AD during the Goguryeo Kingdom, Anhak Palace became the central residence after the capital moved from Gungnae to Pyongyang.

The palace design follows traditional Korean architectural principles, incorporating fortress elements and maintaining harmony with the natural landscape.

The structure features protective walls stretching 2,488 meters in circumference, with each side measuring 622 meters in length.

Three mountain streams flow through the palace grounds, with one leading to an internal pond and two forming moats on the eastern and western sides.
