Mandalay Palace, Royal palace in central Mandalay, Myanmar
The palace complex occupies a square area of 2 kilometers on each side, protected by high walls and surrounded by a 64-meter-wide moat.
King Mindon constructed the palace between 1857 and 1859, establishing it as the new royal capital until British forces captured it in 1885.
The palace architecture follows traditional Burmese design principles, with single-story buildings crowned by decorative spires indicating each structure's importance.
Visitors can access the palace grounds daily from 7 AM to 5 PM through the entrance ticket included in the Mandalay Archaeological Zone pass.
The Royal Mint, where Myanmar's first coins were produced in 1865, stands as one of the few original structures that survived World War II.
