Weiyang

Weiyang Palace was a significant ancient palace complex located in Chang'an, the capital of China during the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). The main audience hall of the Weiyang palace was approximately 120 meters long and 35 meters deep. This era was characterized by extensive palace building, with rulers constructing grand structures that reflected their power and the architectural styles of conquered regions. While much of the Qin and Han dynasty architecture has not survived, historical writings and archaeological findings, like those at Weiyang Palace, offer insights into their scale and design.12
