Patan Durbar Square is one of the most significant historical and cultural landmarks in Nepal, located in the city of Lalitpur, south of Kathmandu. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it reflects the architectural brilliance and rich history of the Kathmandu Valley. The Patan early historically referred to as Lalitpur ("City of Beauty"), is believed to be one of the oldest cities in Nepal. The city traces its roots back to the Kirata dynasty (3rd century BCE) and was later expanded and flourished under the Lichhavi dynasty (4th–9th century CE). Patan durbar square has long been a melting pot of Hinduism and Buddhism. Temples dedicated to Hindu deities like Krishna and Vishnu coexist with Buddhist stupas and viharas, reflecting the city's spiritual harmony. The square saw its zenith during the Malla period, especially under the rule of King Siddhi Narsingh Malla, King Srinivasa Malla, and their successors. They commissioned many of the temples, palaces, and courtyards that define the square today. The palace complex, known as Patan Durbar, served as the residence of the Malla kings. It features intricately carved wooden windows, doors, and decorative elements.

Golden Temple is believed to have been founded in the 12th century during the reign of King Bhaskar Varma. Its origins are deeply rooted in the Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions.

Swayambhunath Stupa, often referred to as the Monkey Temple, is one of the most iconic and sacred religious sites in Nepal. Located atop a hill in the western part of Kathmandu, it holds immense significance for both Buddhists and Hindus.

Swayambhunath is believed to date back to at least the 5th century CE, making it one of the oldest religious sites in Nepal. According to legend, the Kathmandu Valley was once a vast lake, and a lotus grew from its center. The stupa marks the spot where the lotus settled after the water drained, with "Swayambhu" meaning "self-created" or "self-existent." The stupa is tied to the legend of Manjushri, a bodhisattva who drained the lake by cutting a gorge at Chobar with his sword, making the valley habitable. The site exemplifies the syncretism of Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal, with Hindu deities like Saraswati and Shiva worshipped alongside Buddhist figures.

The square was the royal seat of the Malla kings of Kathmandu from the 12th to the 18th century. After the unification of Nepal, the Shah kings used the palace for ceremonial purposes.
