The [[Great Hall (Red Keep)|Great Hall]] contains the throne room of the king. The [[Iron Throne]] sits on a raised iron dais with high and narrow steps. A long carpet stretches from the throne to the hall's great [[oak]]-and-[[bronze]] doors. The cavernous Great Hall can feast a thousand people.{{Ref|AGOT|22}}  The hall is oriented north to south, with high, narrow windows on the eastern and western walls. [[Skulls of the Targaryen dragons]] once adorned the walls, but King [[Robert I Baratheon]] had them moved to a cellar and replaced with hunting [[tapestries]] at the beginning of his reign.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}{{Ref|AGOT|43}} Located behind the Iron Throne is the king's door, a private exit.{{Ref|AFFC|32}}{{Ref|AFFC|43}}

The second-largest chamber in Westeros after [[Harrenhal]], more than a thousand maidens and their family members and servants overcrowded the Great Hall during the [[Maiden's Day Ball]].{{Ref|FaB|21}} [[Small council]] sessions are sometimes held in the throne room.{{Ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}
