ROYAL PALACE
Mandalay hosts the erstwhile royal city which houses the royal palace and a museum. It is located on a square citadel surrounded by four 2-kilometre long walls with 48 turrets and 12 gates, one for each zodiac. Encircling the citadel is a picturesque 60-metre wide moat with a number of bridges. The complex contains audience halls, throne halls, a monastery, a watchtower, a court building, a tooth relic building and a library.
