Līlasuṃghāṇa is possibly the Chlouvānem city with the highest number of old nobiliar palaces. For a period in Chlouvānem history, it was common for many royal families to have a "representation palace" in the holy city; this makes their number higher than in most other cities, where only the local nobles built their palaces. Most nobiliar palaces in Līlasuṃghāṇa (and all royal ones) are located in Kahērimaila, with a minor number of them in neighboring Lūṣyambādhi and Hūneidauṣa.<br/>After the deposition of nobility in the Nāɂahilūmi era and the expropriation of former noble properties in the first years of the Kaiṣamā, all former royal and nobiliar palaces are now property of the State and house either Offices of the Inquisition (for example the Dhārāṣmaja Palace, second-largest in the city (only behind the Inquisitorial Palace), houses the Inquisitorial Office of Economic Development), museums (e.g. Māyīmajālta Palace, just opposite the Inquisitorial Palace, which houses the Pan-Inquisitorial Museum of Natural History), or other institutions (e.g. the three palaces composing the Ūjaravāli complex, used by some departments of the Eparchical Ecumenical School of Līlasuṃghāṇa). | Līlasuṃghāṇa is possibly the Chlouvānem city with the highest number of old nobiliar palaces.

====Skyways and covered walkways==== | |||
The rainy climate of the city has resulted in public spaces being built in order to provide frequent shelter from the sudden downpours, which can be quite heavy, even if short. Especially in the liveliest and oldest sectors of the city, most buildings have covered arcades in front of them, while newer buildings are often connected by skyways above street level. In less central districts, sidewalks often have covered portions and the crossing of large roads is often done through covered skyways or, less frequently, underground passages; this also has the effect of reducing risks connected to traffic. | |||
