Daming Palace 大明宫, The Palace of Great Brilliance

Dragon’s Armory:

The Daming Palace “Palace of Great Brilliance” was the massive residence of the Tang dynasty Emperors- massive in the sense that the Palace itself covered almost 350 hectares, or 4 km2.

To put matters into perspective, the Forbidden City is currently the largest palace anywhere in the modern world with 72 Hectacres, the Daming Palace during the Tang dynasty was more than 4.5 times the area of even that. The name plaque above the main gate of the palace alone was the size of a modern two story apartment.

It was the palace from where three of the most capable Tang Emperors reigned, Taizong, Wu Zetian, and Xuanzong- it would remain the palace of the Tang emperors until the fall of the dynasty in 907.
