Aurora's Palace

Aurora's Palace is a location featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the first episode of the second season.

The palace is where Princess Aurora was kept while she was asleep, while she was under Maleficent's sleeping curse in Fairytale Land.

History
A few minutes after Prince Phillip kisses Princess Aurora, a Wraith appears. Phillip fights with the creature managing to steal its medallion, not knowing that it curses and marks anyone who touches it for death.

After Phillip is killed that night by the Wraith, Mulan and Aurora return to the palace to place Prince Phillip's corpse on Aurora's bier. Mulan reveals to Aurora that palace is in a corner of land that was not fully affected by the Evil Queen's Dark Curse; the inhabitants were merely frozen in time.

Shortly after giving this explanation, Mulan and Aurora hear a noise from the hole the Wraith came through. Upon investigating, the pair find Emma Swan and Mary Margaret Blanchard unconscious on the ground, having passed through the portal via Jefferson's hat along with the Wraith. ("Broken")

Aurora's Palace is revealed to be part of the area that was protected by Cora with a shielding spell when Regina put the Dark Curse into effect 28 years ago. ("Queen of Hearts")

Trivia

 * The Palace was built purposely for Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora, with the intention they live out their future there together. Reminiscent of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, where King Hubert, Phillip's father, builds them a castle.
 * The Palace is where Aurora slumbered prior to the curse, where she slept on a bier based on a platform with a mosaic emblem of the sun (representative of the meaning of her name - Dawn) surrounded with thorns. Albeit, how she ended up in the Palace is unexplained. In the film, Aurora slumbers in a tower in her father Stefan's castle, with the entire castle itself surrounded with thorns.
 * It is the location of the second shown portal linking Storybrooke and the Fairytale Land, the first being the portal that led Baelfire away from the Enchanted Forest.
