Where is the Nanjing Forbidden City in Ming Dynasty? Where is the Nanjing Palace of the Ming Dynasty in history?

1. The palace Zhu Yuanzhang saw in Nanjing is on Zhongshan East Road, near Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Now it is called the Ming Palace, and in the past this place was called the Forbidden City. The whole imperial city covers an area of 6.53 square kilometers. In the Middle Ages, the ancient buildings in this place were the largest palace buildings in the world at that time, so this building was also called "the first palace in the world".

The architectural form here can be said to be the mother of official buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the later Forbidden City in Beijing was built on this basis.
