The Forbidden City is a term often used to refer to the Chinese Imperial Palace, particularly that located in the city of [[Beijing]]. Originally built during the [[ Dynasty]], the Imperial Palace remains a prominent site at the center of the city today, and is home to the Imperial Palace Museum, among other historical sites and gardens.
Much of the palace was rebuilt during the reign of the [[Yongle Emperor]] in the early [[Ming Dynasty]], when the capital was returned to Beijing from [[Nanjing]].
