The square is the complex of palaces, courtyards and temples that are 
built  between  the 12th and the 18th centuries by the ancient Malla Kings 
of  Nepal. It is the social,  religious  and urban focal point of the city.
Taleju  Temple , Kal Bhairab ( God  of  Destruction ),  Nautalle D  urbar, 
Coronation  Nasal  Chowk ,  the  Gaddi  Baithak, the statue of King Pratap 
Malla , the Big  Bell, Big  Drum  and  the Jagnnath Temple are some of the 
interesting things to see in this Square.

     An intriguing  piece here is the 17 th century stone inscription that 
is  set into the  wall  of  the palace with writings in 15 languages.It is 
believed that if anybody deciphers this entire inscription, the milk would
flow from the spout, which lies just below the inscripted stone wall. Some
people  say  that  the inscription contains coded directions to a treasure 
King Pratap Malla has buried beneath Mohan chowk of Durbar Square.
