Palace of Placentia

The Palace of Placentia was an English Royal Palace built by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, in 1443,^[1]^[2] in Greenwich, on the banks of the River Thames, downstream from London. It was demolished by Charles II in 1660, to make way for a new palace. Nearly 40 years later, the Greenwich Hospital (now the Old Royal Naval College) was built on the spot instead.
