Jabba’s Palace was the base of operations for Jabba the Hutt, a crime lord and ruling member of the Grand Hutt Council.

Jabba the Hutt’s Palace was located in the Dune Sea on Tatooine, and was accessible on land by a single dirt road that stretched through a canyon. The palace, constructed with sandblasted metal and stone, was where Jabba conducted illicit business deals. The structure was a fortress, with a defensive design that focused primarily on protection from attack. The palace included a garage.

Jabba’s Palace was a monastery that belonged to the B’omarr Order, a religious community who believed in isolating themselves from all physical stimuli to enhance their mental powers. The earliest parts of the monastery were underground, and included a mine. At one point, a bandit named Alkhara appropriated the monastery for himself. He occupied it for 34 years, during which he added battlements, dungeons, and a nine-story tower, and also cut a road from the citadel to the Western Dune Sea and Great Pit of Carkoon. Eventually, he was driven off by Jabba.

After taking over the monastery, Jabba had it further fortified by master armorers. After presenting the Hutt with the bill for their services, the said armorers became the first prisoners of the crime lord. Despite having designed them all, they were never able to escape the thick walls and cruel traps of the palace.
