Wikipedia definition
3. Heijō-kyō​Heijō-kyō (平城京, also Heizei-kyō, sometimes Nara no miyako), was the capital city of Japan during most of the Nara period, from 710–40 and again from 745–84. The Palace site is a listed UNESCO World Heritage together with other places in the city of Nara. Empress Gemmei ordered to move the Imperial capital from Fujiwara-kyō to Heijō-kyō in 708, so it was moved to Heijō-kyō in 710. Heijō-kyō was modeled after Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty China, although Heijō-kyō lacked walls.
