Royal Palace - The establishment of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh in 1866 is a comparatively recent event in the history of the Khmer and Cambodia. The seat of Khmer power in the region rested in or near Angkor north of the Great Tonle Sap Lake from 802 AD until the early 15th century. After the Khmer court moved from Angkor in the 15th century after being destroyed by Siam, it first settled in Phnom Penh. The main elements of the public eastern courtyard of the modern palace are:
The Throne Hall, which contains the three main royal thrones and is the place kings are crowned and where foreign ambassadors are received;
-The Napoleon Pavilion, which Norodom used as a reception hall and is today a museum;
-The Phochani Pavilion, a banqueting hall;
-The Chan Chhaya or Moonlight Pavilion on the northeast section of the wall, used for state banquets and dance performances;
-The Damnak Chan behind the Napoleon Pavilion, an administrative building.
