Ramallah Cultural Palace was established in 2005 after years of planning and implementation by Ramallah Municipality and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the generous support of the Japanese government.

With its large spaces, hall rooms, and main auditorium area which can seat up to 740 people, Ramallah Cultural Palace came about as a result of an urgent need in the cultural sector, not only in Ramallah but in Palestine as a whole.
