Palace of Chrysopolis

The Palace of Chrysopolis is an imperial residence of the Mesogeian monarch, located in the ancient capital of Chrysopolis, a city comprised of three cites, Ctesiphon, Seleucia, and Chrysopolis making up the tripolis. The palace located in the ancient capital is known by various names including the Golden palace, the Red Fort, and the Palace of the Alcaeids.

The palace at Chrysopolis is the oldest inhabited imperial residence in the country, with the site having been inhabited since at least the twelfth century BC.

The palace, situated on 80 acres, is comprised of the Winter Palace, throne hall, audience hall, minor reception halls, temples, shrines, the harem, imperial stables, gardens and an imperial mint. While no longer regularly inhabited by the emperor, the palace serves as a museum to the ancient history of Mesogeia.
