Greenwich Palace is a royal residence of medieval and Tudor origin situated on the south bank of the Thames in Greenwich, London. The palace was developed from the fifteenth century onwards, with significant construction undertaken by Henry VII and Henry VIII, who expanded the complex substantially during the early sixteenth century. The site served as a favoured royal residence and was the birthplace of notable Tudor monarchs including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Today the palace survives only in fragmentary form, with the remaining structures now incorporated within the grounds of the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Naval College, though its historical importance as a centre of royal power and cultural patronage remains considerable.
