An Introduction
Over 50 monuments can be found in Durbar Square, the oldest dating back to the 12the century, when the area was the crossroads of two important trading routes. Over the years it evolved into the hub of Kathmandu. A succession of kings built and elaborated on the main royal palace here, which gave it the name "Durbar" or palace, Square.
The area flourished in the 17th century, the "Golden Age" of the Kathmandu Valley, when the Malla rulers of the three neighbouring city-states of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur waged artistic warfare to see who could built the most splendid monuments. Any innovation in one was quickly copied by the other kings, a competition that explains the similarities between the three cities Durbar Squares.
