Bingol Royal Palace
The Bingol Royal Palace is located in Bingol, Packilvania. It is the official residence and workplace of the Sultan of Packilvania and the seat of the Bedonite dynasty and Council of Ministers of Packilvania. The Temple of the Authority which is located on its grounds is regarded as the third holiest site in Paxism alongside the Memorial of the Jovian Gate in Akas Akil and the Temple of the Restoration in Adrien(although its status is disputed by some groups). It is one of the largest palace complexes in the world. It spans 161 hectares (400 acres).
The history of the Palace starts with Iktan the Devout who founded the first Packilvanian state in 670 CE. He constructed a Palace in Bingol following his capture of the city. His body was reinterned in the Mausoleum of Iktan the Devout on the palace grounds which was built in 681 CE. However, historians have placed doubts on the legitimacy of these claims. Successive High Kings, Kings of Bingol and Sultans of Packilvania made additions and modifications to the structure. High King Melkezedek the Great began construction of the Temple of the Authority on the Palace grounds in 980 CE which was completed in 1028 during the reign of Thumim IV.
It suffered damage and had to be rebuilt at least 12 times. During the Firsf Packilvanian Civil War, it suffered heavy damage. The Packilvanian Communist Party converted it to a museum and infirmary. It was restored in 1986 as a royal residence by Amhoud I.
