Greenwich Palace is a royal residence of the Tudor period, located on the south bank of the Thames in Greenwich, London. Originally developed from a medieval manor house by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester in the fifteenth century, it was substantially enlarged and remodeled by Henry VII and Henry VIII during the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The palace served as a favoured royal residence and was the birthplace of Henry VIII in 1491 and of his daughter Elizabeth I in 1533. Though the structure was largely demolished in the seventeenth century to make way for the Greenwich Hospital complex (now the Old Royal Naval College), its former extent and layout are documented through historical records and archaeological investigation, and it remains significant as one of the major palaces of Tudor England.
