About
Patan Durbar Square is located in the heart of the ancient city of Patan in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. This historic landmark features intricate woodwork, courtyards, and pagoda-style temples adorned with detailed carvings. Central to Patan's cultural and historical identity, the Durbar Square is home to the ancient Royal Palace, where the Malla Kings of Patan once resided. Apart from the palace, the square is dotted with numerous temples and shrines, each bearing witness to the artistic and religious beliefs of its builders. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Patan Durbar Square is not only an important destination for tourists but also a living testament to the Newar culture and Nepal's rich history.
