The Forbidden City.

Built from 1406 till 1420, required more than a million workers, home of 24 emperors (14 Ming, 10 Qing Dynasty), measures 3,153ft x 2,470ft, premises enclosed by 26ft high wall composed of rammed earth, bordered by 20ft deep x 171ft wide moat.

And in 2000 a Starbucks opened up in here, eventually shutting down in 2007 (true story).
