Golden royalty and great architecture

One of the most iconic and distinctive buildings in Cambodia, the Royal Place. Built in the 1860’s, the palace has been the home to all royalty since. The King’s living area takes up over half of the palace grounds, but visitors are free to roam around the Silver Pagoda compound, the main area containing the Chan Chaya Pavilion, and Throne Hall, which is pictured above. Throne Hall is still in use today as a meeting place for the King to receive dignitaries, and is also used for ceremonies and coronations. It is indeed a very beautiful and serene place to visit. #trip #travel #cambodia #history #culture
