It takes place in all green plants, which use the green chlorophyll, held in chloroplast in the leaves, to trap light. The main site of photosynthesis is the palisade layer in the leaf of a plant. The cells in the palisade layer contain the green chloroplasts. They are near the upper side of the leaf where they can obtain the maximum amount of light, they are packed very close together and as already mentioned contain green chloroplasts clustered towards the upper side too.
