Phra Nakhon Khiri is a historical park in Phetchaburi, Thailand, located on a hill overlooking the city. The name Phra Nakhon Khiri means Holy City Hill, but locals know it better as Khao Wang, meaning hill with palace.
The whole complex was built as a summer palace by King Mongkut, with construction finishing in 1860.
The site was registered as a historical park on August 27, 1979, with two of the palace buildings now housing a branch of the Thai National Museum.
