Bhaktapur Durbar Square is the plaza in front of the royal palace of the old Bhaktapur Kingdom, located 1400m above sea level. It is one of three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is located in the current town of Bhaktapur, also known as Bhadgoan, which lies 13 km east of Kathmandu. While the complex consists of at least four distinct squares (Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatreya Square, and Pottery Square), the whole area is informally known as the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and it is a highly visited site in the Kathmandu Valley. The major attractions in and around Bhaktapur Durbar Square are Nge Nyapa Jhya Laaykoo (55 window palace), Vatsala Temple, Statue of Bhupatindra Malla, Nyatapola Temple, Bhairava Nath Temple, Lun Dhwākhā (Golden Gate), and Lion’s Gate.

All these historical monuments and temples around the Bhaktapur Durbar Square represent the history and traditions of medieval Nepal. Bhaktapur is itself among the most intact ancient cities of Nepal.
