| Bas relifs on Palace Wall |
The bas reliefs are very fragile. UNESCO has placed the palaces on their endangered list partly because of these reliefs. The following bas reliefs have been restored. In one of the buildings on the palaces grounds, there are bas reliefs in various stages of restoration. Have the guide get the keys, its worth seeing. |
