Tian An Men (The Gates of Peace of Heavens) is the place where Mao proclaimed the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Till 1911, Tian An Men was the palace of the Emperor since its 1415 Mings' building.
The place in front of the palace is called Tian An Men Square - from the name of the palace. (designed and built in 1651, since enlarged in the 1950s)
