THRONE ROOM IN PALACE GROUNDS


THRONE ROOM IN PALACE GROUNDS

The Palace buildings and Silver Pagoda are located within the same walled grounds on Sothearos just off the riverfront. Marking the approach, the high yellow wall and spired Chan Chaya Pavilion are the most prominent features from the street. The Royal Palace was built in 1866 under the French protectorate and King Norodom, though many of the buildings in the complex were added over the following decades.
