Daming Palace served as the imperial palace complex during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in the former capital of Changan (now Xian in northwest China's Shaanxi). Tang emperors used it as their imperial residence for over 200 years.
Its ruins are the most well-preserved among all former imperial palaces in China. The complex spans 3.4 square kilometers with a wall perimeter stretching 7.6 kilometers and featuring 11 gates on all four sides.
On March 4, 1961, the Daming Palace ruins were declared by the State Council as one of the first national key cultural relics protection units.
