The Forbidden City was the political and ritual center of China for over five centuries. After
its completion in 1420, the compound was home to 24 emperors, their families and servants
during the Ming (1368–1644) and the Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The last Qing emperor left
the palace in 1924. The Palace Museum, which is famous for its dynastic art and history, is now
one of the most popular tourist attractions world-wide.

Constructed from 1406 to 1420, this largest imperial palace complex consists of 980
buildings and covers 72 hectares. Surrounding the city, a 52-meter wide moat functioned as the
first line of defense. It is enclosed by a 8-meter-high defensive wall. At each corner of the
Forbidden City, there stands a heavily-guarded watchtower.

The architecture of the compound applies the traditional Chinese geomantic practice of feng
shui. The walled complex was constructed along a central north-south line.

This line is the axis of the old Beijing City. Traditionally, it is divided into two parts. The Outer
Court was used as governmental and ceremonial spaces and the Inner Court was used as the
residence of the Emperor and his family. As the imperial compound, no one could enter or leave
the area without the emperor's permission and that is why Forbidden City is so named.
