THE ROYAL PALACE
Picture
Constructed in the 1860s, this sprawling complex consists of many buildings, which also includes numerous stupas and pagodas. Among some of the more famous and well-known structures include the Moonlight Pavilion and Throne Hall. Most visitors would be taking snapshots of these buildings!

This is one of Phnom Penh’s most famous and important landmarks, and for good reasons! It is the King’s official residence, and was built after Phnom Penh became the capital of the country. Over the years, more buildings were added on to the complex, and it is worth noting that the current Throne Hall was built in 1917, after the old one was demolished in 1915.

​​The complex is so big, that for one to fully appreciate the beauty of the different buildings, it can take hours to see, admire, and take photos! Yet, the King’s living area, where he still lives to this day, takes about half of the entire Royal Palace, and is not open to the public. Wow!

​INSIDER TIP:
Being in a palace, it is important to respect local culture. Hence, remember to wear clothes that cover the shoulders
and knees! Depending on who you encounter, you may be forced to purchase a t-shirt to cover up! Take note!
