At the heart of Bhaktapur’s enchanting Durbar Square stands the magnificent 55 Window Palace, a dazzling testament to the city’s royal past and exquisite craftsmanship. Built during the reign of King Bhupatindra Malla in the 15th century, this striking structure is famed for its beautifully carved wooden windows, each one a masterpiece of Newari artistry.

Once the seat of Bhaktapur’s Kings, the palace is steeped in history and is laces with intricate details that speak to the grandeur of Nepal’s medieval era. Its ornate façade, framed by elaborate scrollwork and delicate carvings, draws visitors into a bygone world of elegance, devotion, and architectural brilliance.
