Hades' Palace is the home of Hades and Persephone (half of the year for the latter), located in the pit of the Underworld.
Description
It is modeled after the gods' palace on Mount Olympus, since he is not welcome there for the most of the year. A person can only reach the palace if Hades wants so. If he doesn't, the person will just keep walking for eternity without ever reaching it. Perseus spent a great time on its doors, only being freed by Heracles. In front of it is Persephone's garden, it has been said to be the most beautiful garden on Earth.
