The "Palace of the Golden Bull" is a series of structures built in the 13th century | The "Palace of the Golden Bull" is a series of structures built primarily in the 13th century and includes all remnants of earlier structures, including what remains of the original ''Domus Julii'', largely constrained to its footprint with inclusion of some archaeological surviving elements of the ''Domus''. The structures are so named for the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], reflecting the association of these buildings with the [[History of Urcea (1098-1214)|the Early Kingdom Period]]. | ||
Many structures of the Palace of the Golden Bull reflect the reduced size of the city and need for a strong keep-like structure atop the Caeline Hill. Large stone walls surrounded this structure which have since been incorporated into the palace as structural foundation, as the walls themselves have been "sandwiched" between expanded portions of the Palace of the Golden Bull and the Caeline Palace. | Many structures of the Palace of the Golden Bull reflect the reduced size of the city and need for a strong keep-like structure atop the Caeline Hill.

The Caeline Palace is considered by many to be the "heart" of the palace complex and is closely associated with the modern ruling [[House de Weluta]]. It was constructed after the conclusion of the [[Great Confessional War]] to suit the needs of a vastly more powerful, prestigious, and complex Urcean monarchy and government, and was completed in the first decade of the 17th century. | The Caeline Palace is considered by many to be the "heart" of the palace complex and is closely associated with the modern ruling [[House de Weluta]].
