This is a view of the entrance gate to the main inner palace. This is the third gate one encounters upon reaching the palace. The first gate is the one you’re just seen and then you enter a very large court yard, only to be greeted with another gate. Once you pass through this gate and make your way through the second inner court yard you are confronted with this gate! This is the third and final gate, it allows you to enter the inner court yard of the king’s throne. In this photo, you can see the stone paved road leading up to the main entrance way. That road has two levels, the tallest in the middle was reserved only for the king and no one else was allowed to walk on it. The lower was for government peoples and the final dirt is for everyone else.
