The Grand Palace Outer Court
Administrative buildings and gateways show how the Outer Court managed the public-facing functions and controlled thresholds of the Grand Palace.
Why go
The Outer Court shows how administration and public-facing royal functions occupied the palace threshold. Its buildings and gateways introduce the complex gradually, helping visitors distinguish working spaces from the increasingly restricted ceremonial courts beyond and understand how movement through the compound expressed rank.
Useful to know
View the Outer Court in relation to the wider Grand Palace and historic riverside district.
Confirm current Outer Court access before visiting.
