Philopation Palace is an imperial palace located some 12 miles (19.3) from the Mesogeian capital Alexandropolis. Construction on the palace began in 1506 for PLACEHOLDER, a favourite of Manuel V. In 1520 PLACEHOLDER fell from favor and the Emperor confiscated the palace.

Nearly two centuries later Emperor Constantine XV began a massive rebuilding and expansion project on the palace, destroying a significant portion of the old structure. Work on the palace was halted at the Emperor's death in 1722 and was never finished, leaving the palace a contrast of new and old with a portion of the old medieval structure surviving to clash with the baroque style dominant in the rest of the palace.

Today the palace is open to the public as a tourist attraction, with its grounds housing the Imperial Porcelain factory.
