Sukhbaatar Square is the centra square of Ulaanbaatar. The square was named for Mongolian's revolutionary hero Damdin Sukhbaatar after his death in 1923. The square's name was changed to Chinggis Square in 2013 in honor of Chinggis Khaan, but the original name was restored in 2016. The center of the plaza features an equestrian statue of Damdin Sukhbaatar, while a large colonnade monument dedicated to Chinggis Khaan, as well as to Ogedei Khan, and Kublai Khan dominates the square's north face directly in front of the Government Palace.

Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the grounds of the present day government palace and public square were largely occupied by a temple-monastery-palace complex (the Yellow Palace). Mongolian wrestling and Tsam  dances were often staged there in the presence of nobles and clergy. The temple-complex was razed following the Mongolian Revolution of 1921. In 1923 the central square was named in honor of the Mongolian revolutionary hero D.Sukhbaatar after his death that same year. In 1926 the National Theater, also known as the "Green Domed Theater", was constructed over the ruins of the temple complex. After the theater was destroyed by fire in 1949, The Government Palace was constructed on its site in 1951, which still stands today
