Description: |
|
The Royal Palace is a complex of buildings which serves as the
royal residence of the king of Cambodia. Its full name in the
Khmer language is Preah Barum Reachea Veang Chaktomuk Serei
Mongkol. The Kings of Cambodia have occupied it since it was
built in the 1860s, with a period of absence when the country
came into turmoil during and after the reign of the Khmer Rouge.
The palace was constructed between 1866 and 1870, after King
Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh.
It was built atop an old citadel called Banteay Kev. It faces
approximately East and is situated at the Western bank of the
cross division of the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River
called Chaktomuk. |
