Inside twelve of the most beautiful buildings in the world unfold some of the greatest stories ever told. From the makers of Great Castles of Europe, The Learning Channel brings you Great Palaces of the World. On four continents and across a thousand years, the walls do talk--and they speak of power, intrigue...and love.

See: Summer Palace of Beijing - China Taj Mahal - India Royal Palace of Bangkok - Thailand Palaces of Jodhpur - Inda Volume I - ORIENTAL SPLENDOR A concubine rose to become empress of all China, and squandered her nation's destiny on her private pleasure, at the Summer Palace of Beijing. From Indi'a Red Fort, a Moghul emporer gazed upon the Taj Mahal--a monument to eternal love, and a broken heart. At Thailand's Royal Palace of Bangkok, a wonman named Anna tutored the future king of Siam, and a lone monk held off all the armies of Europe. This asian journey ends at an entire city of palaces built on the summit of a volcano: India's Jodhpur.
