The royal family of a larger town will typically live in a large Palace Complex that plays a dual role of residence and administrative centre. Despite being a single-story structure, these royal homes are very much opulent, with numerous chambers, finely decorated stonework and an internal courtyard.
Though not as grandiose or gaudy as a European palace, these stone complexes still highlight the power of those who live within its walls just as effectively.
大型城邑的酋長家族通常居於宮殿,此處亦是酋長日常辦公的行政場所。宮殿為單層建築,但佔地極廣,殿內房間眾多,無論宮殿外牆還是內部庭院都裝飾得精美絕倫。
儘管無法與富麗堂皇的歐洲宮殿相媲美,但這些石製巨型建築同樣彰顯著宮殿主人不容置疑的無上權威。 |
