It is located in the center of the city and was the political and cultural center of China for nearly 500 years. The Forbidden City was built in the early 15th century and served as the home of the emperor, his family, and the imperial court. It also housed important government offices, ceremonial halls, and religious temples. The Forbidden City was closed to the public and was only accessible to members of the imperial court.
