Bangkok's buildings and monuments are a rich hodgepodge of old and modern, Eastern and Western. The city's most famous attraction is the spectacular Grand Palace, constructed in 1782. The palace, which served, until the beginning of the twentieth century, as home to the Thai king and his royal court, also housed key government institutions including the war ministry and the mint. Within the palace complex is the Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), celebrated for its highly revered fourteenth-century image of the Buddha, carved from a single block of emerald.
