Durbar Square

Durbar Square can rightly be called the treasury of Bhaktapur. On it you can see many masterpieces of traditional Nepalese architecture and sculpture.

In the 14th and 17th centuries, when the city was the capital of the Nepalese kingdom, the square began to turn into a place of construction of palaces and temples, which are now included in the UNESCO list. This place is so revered that entry to the square on any vehicles is strictly prohibited.

Here you can see more than 10 temples and palace complexes, including the royal palace of King Yaksha Malla of the middle of the 15th century, the Char Dham temple complex, consisting of four temples dedicated to Shiva and Narayana, the octagonal temple of Chiasilin Mandap, restored in 1990, as well as the greatest creation of Nepalese architecture - the Golden Gate, leading to the Palace of fifty-five windows and many other equally attractive monuments of world significance.
