The Palace Bulilding and the Silver Pagoda located within the same walled grounds on Sothearos just off the riverfront. Marking the approach, the high yellow wall and spired Chanchhaya Pavilion are the most prominent feautres from the street. The Royal Palace was built in 1866 under the French protectorate and King Norodom, though many of the buildings in the complex were added over the following decades. The “Silver Pagoda” (so named for the silver tiled floor of the vihear) was constructed at the end of the 19th century and renovated in 1962. A collection of priceless historical objects is on display in the vihear.
