The earliest known palaces are those of the Egyptian kings at Thebes, with an outer wall enclosing a labyrinth of rooms and courtyards. Other ancient cultures also built vast palaces (e.g., the Assyrian palaces at Nimrd, Khorsabad, and Nineveh; the Minoan palace at Knossos; and the Persian palaces at Persepolis and Susa). In Rome and Constantinople, palaces reached their peak as centres of power. In Western Europe after the Middle Ages, palaces tended to be single buildings.

The court of the Pitti Palace in Florence (1560) is an important example of Mannerist architecture.

A masterpiece of formal grandeur intended as the visible expression of the glory of France, Versailles became the palatial ideal throughout Europe and the Americas.

After Le Vau's death, Jules Hardouin-Mansart (1646-1708) was commissioned to triple the size of the palace and built the northern and southern wings, the Orangerie, and the Grand Trianon.
