The 14th century Ming Palace in Nanjing, China was the imperial palace of the Hongwu Emperor, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This palace was replaced in Beijing in the form of the Forbidden City by his son, the Yongle Emperor, when he moved the capital to Beijing. The palace was destroyed by the Qing in 1644, and today only some foundations, walls, carved stones and columns remain.
