Royal Grand Palace
Construction of the palace began in 1782 and was completed in
time for the coronation of King Rama I, and opened in 1785 to
signify the end of the Burmese invasion of Thailand. The palace
itself is made up of a complex array of smaller buildings, most
notably the Wat Mahatat (the Palace Temple) and the Wat Phra Keow
(the Royal Chapel), which houses the famous Emerald Buddha sculpted
from a single piece of jade, and one of the most revered objects in
the Kingdom.
