Palais des Ducs et des Etats de Bourgogne or simply known as the Ducal Palace has been built originally as a small fortress. It was rebuilt in the latter half of the 14th century by Philip the Bold, the first Duke of Valois. The Ducal Palace is one of the few remaining monuments of the Capetian period in Burgundy and today, the palace is still the scene of Dijon politics, as the Mayor of Dijon and other administrators are officed within its walls. It is a museum too.
