Built by Jitamitra Malla, the former king, the 55-Window Palace was used as the official royal family residence until 1769. The palace was originally finished in 1427. During the seventeenth century, the palace was revamped. Today, the palace has been converted into a National Gallery and it houses several pieces of art.
The 55-Window Palace gets its name from its balcony designed with a total of 55 windows. This is considered by many as a woodcarving masterpiece because of its uniqueness and elegance.
