Phra Thinang Ananta Samakhom or the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall was built in the early 1900's by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). The original throne hall though (with the same name) was in the Grand Palace complex that was built by his father, King Mongkut (Rama IV). When the throne hall was finished, King Chulalongkorn had the old one demolished and adopted the name for the new one. However, he wasn't able to see the completion of Ananta Samakhom because he passed away five years before it was completed. The architecture was patterned after the great European palaces of that time and was designed by a Prussian architect, and then by two Italian architects.
