About Ducal Palace
The Ducal Palace is a remarkable archaeological site containing the ruins of the medieval residence of the first Dukes of Normandy, built progressively during the 10th, 11th, and 12th centuries. This historic palace served as the principal seat of power for early Norman rulers, including Richard I 'the Fearless' who was born here around 933, and Richard II who transformed it from a wooden structure into an impressive stone fortress with defensive walls. Most famously, William the Conqueror celebrated his victory at the Battle of Hastings with a lavish Easter banquet here in 1067.
