Upper Terrace

The Upper Terrace was the sleeping and guest quarters of the Northern Palace. The king's sleeping quarters were built around a central chamber. There was a balcony to the north that had two rows of columns and the 180-degree view to the north is magnificent—and catches some of the western and northern breezes.
