Karakorum was the capital established by Chinggis Khan. It was located at present-day Har Horin, which is located about 300 kilometers (186 miles) west of the modern Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar. Chinggis Khan built a luxurious palace at Karakorum. Karakorum was the command center of Chinggis Khan's empire, and symbolized a source of Mongol authority greater than a clan or tribe.
