		By all accounts there were tears in his eyes as he and his retinue marched through the Palace Gate and down the magnificent streets of Ravan; some say he was struck dumb by its beauty and grandeur, and could not speak again for upwards of a month.

		Maimoon Palace, or Istana Maimun, was built as a residence for the Sultan of Deli (Deli being a major North Sumatran kingdom along with Aceh).
		Mounting a flight of solid stairs at the front of the palace a sense of royal grandeur may be gained -- but this is somewhat diluted by hawkers trying to sell T-shirts or other rather tatty tourist trinkets.
		The interior of the palace is, then, rather fine but under-presented and -appreciated, and the same may be said of its exterior.

	Introduction Islamic Archaeology
		The most enduring continuity concerned the elitist nature of Indonesian society, wherein the palace remained the central point of cultural reference, and the nobility remained the principal source of supply and demand for high art.
		In addition to functioning as a centre of socio-political and economic power, the palace also provided an umbrella under which flourished other fields of scholar-ship: philosophy, education, and science.
		In contrast to the large cities of the preceeding generation, with layouts geometrically organised according to the cardinal points and centred around the temple, mountain, or royal palace, the port cities evolved essentially from their function as wharves and markets.
