Amarapura Palace, Historical royal palace ruins in Amarapura, Myanmar.

The palace complex encompasses brick terraces extending 260 feet with remnants of wooden structures that once formed the royal residence.

Constructed in the late 18th century, the palace served as a royal residence until 1857 when King Mindon relocated the capital to Mandalay.

The palace grounds contained multiple ceremonial spaces including the Lion throne and White Elephant Palace, reflecting Myanmar's royal traditions.

The remaining structures include parts of the original moat and royal tombs of King Bodawpaya and King Bagyidaw within the palace grounds.

The palace materials were dismantled and transported to construct new buildings in Mandalay, leaving only the foundation and terrace structures.
