	Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A palace is an important urban residence of a royal or noble family, with its origins as the executive power center of a kingdom or empire.
		The original 'palaces' on the Palatine Hill were the seat of the imperial power, while the capitol on the Capitoline Hill was the seat of the senate and the religious nucleus of Rome.
		Speakers of English think of the "Palace of Versailles" because it was the residence of the king of France, and the king was the source of power, though the building has always remained the Château de Versailles for the French, and the seat of government under the ancien regime remained the Palais du Louvre.
