Royal Palace
The beautiful towering spires of the buildings at the palace are a great example of classic Khmer architecture found in Cambodia today.
Tourists are welcome to visit the Throne Hall (Preah Tineang Tevea Vinichhay) where coronations and official ceremonies take place.
The gardens are beautifully manicured. Buildings on the palace grounds include the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Preah Keo Morakot), Stupas (Chedi), the Royal Dining Hall, the Chan Chhaya Pavilion and a French building that was a gift from Napoleon III.
Among the numerous interesting buildings, within the 183,135 square meter compound is the Khemarin Palace, or Prasat Khemarin meaning “Palace of the Khmer King”, the official residence of His Majesty, King Norodom Sihamoni. The Khemarin Palace is in a protected part of the compound and not open to public.
