The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. It was first built in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty, but was burnt down a few times since by lightning and rebuilt. It was used for big events like Lunar New Year celebrations, the Emperor's Birthday and other bashes. In case you were interested, that center stone ramp between the two staircases was where servants would carry the Emperor up into the building.
