Patan Durbar Square In 1979 AD, Patan Durbar Square has declared a World Heritage Site. Like Kathmandu, the old illustrious royal residence of Patan has a great Durbar square. This compact mass of temples is perhaps the most externally impressive showcase of Newari architecture in Nepal.  From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, temple buildings in the square went into overdrive during the Malla period. Therefore, when visiting artificial works of art, do not miss to enjoy the temples of Lord Krishna and many other deities. Also, visit the museum and find out about the centuries-long history of the city.
