The Darul Jambangan (Palace of Flowers)[1] was the palace of the Sultanate of Sulu (i.e., the Tausug Sultanate) based in Maimbung, Sulu, Philippines. It was said to have been the largest royal palace in the Philippines.[2]
The three-story building was destroyed by a typhoon in 1932. It remains in ruins as of 2023, with only two stone pillars standing.[2] However, its blueprints and construction were finalized a year before it was made.
A contemporary life-sized replica of the palace exists on Jolo, Sulu.[3]
