The Basement

Subterranean Representation of the Palace

The basement of the palace, known as the substructures, is a vast underground area that extends beneath the entire complex. It primarily served as storage space, housing service functions, and forms the foundation for the floors above. The substructures feature a complex system of vaulted chambers, passageways, and corridors, mirroring the above-ground structures of the palace.
