Line 5 ⟶ 29:
The Palace was first built as the Caste of Putangitangi in 995 by [[Ahua the Great]]. The Castle was named after the adjoining lake called Lake Putangitangi which was in turn named after the [[Oan language|Oan]] word for a cormorant.
==Uses==
The Palace is used by the Emperor''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'' as his primary place of residence and of work. The Serene Court is housed in the Palace. Cremated remains of deceased members of the Serene Family are kept in a tomb on the grounds. The Palace is partly open to the public as a museum and public park. Entry to public areas of the Palace is free. Access to some exhibitions and the green house requires visitors to purchase a ticket. The Serene Court also holds various events for the public in the Central Palace. The Emperor often receives ambassadors and foreign guests in the Throne and hosts parties to entertain foreign guests of the government. Usually, foreign VIPs do not stay at the Palace during their stay unless personally invited by the Emperor or Serene Consort.
