Royal Palace of Alderaan

"They blew up my father's castle and all of Alderaan with it."

- Leia Organa, to Eneb Ray

The Royal Palace of Alderaan served as the residence of the House of Organa, the royal family of the planet Alderaan. Thanks to the skills of the Alderaanian architects, the palace and the city around it blended smoothly into the local snow-capped mountains. An elegant building, its design captured the opulence of royalty.

One of the palace's balconies overlooked a lake. Leia Organa's childhood bedroom was situated high in one of the palace's towers. Bail Organa's roomy palace office had more than enough space for a desk, a few chairs, and an aquarium full of brightly colored sea creatures. The palace's south terrace looked out over the River Wuitho, and the smaller villages on the outskirts of Aldera. The palace also contained a library with ancient paper books.

Over the centuries the palace was inhabited, it was expanded many times. These expansions usually took the form of chambers dug ever-deeper into the mountain, resulting in a labyrinthine layout.

The palace was destroyed when the Death Star, a planet-killing battle station built by the Galactic Empire, blew up Alderaan shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
