Long back, a prince called Preah Thong fell in love with a girl on a beach. Turns out, that girl is the daughter of the underwater dragon king.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the prince requested permission to marry the king\u2019s daughter, he happily agreed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a dowry, the dragon king gifted five large boats along with jewellery and 500 staff.

It started getting called \u2018the Black Palace\u2019 due to the extensive use of dark-colored wood, which gave the building a dark tone. Additionally, over time, the growth of moss and decay made it appear even darker.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Black Palace is not a single structure but a cluster of 3-4 buildings spread across the area.
