The history of Patan Durbar Square is not clear. Although the Malla Kings of Lalitpur are credited with the establishment of the royal square, it is known that the site is an ancient crossroad. The Pradhanas, who settled around the site before the Mallas, have connections with the Durbar Square. Scholars are certain that Patan was a prosperous city since ancient times.
The Malla Kings made important changes to the square. Most of the current architecture is from the 1600s, constructed during the reign of King Siddhi Narsingh Malla and his son Srinivasa Sukriti. Some of the notable Malla Kings who improved the square include Purandarasimha, Sivasimha Malla and Yoga Narendra Malla.
Patan is one of the oldest Buddhist cities. It is a centre of both Hinduism and Buddhism with 136 courtyards and 55 major temples. Most of these structures are in the vicinity of the Durbar Square.
