Tajbeg Palace, Royal palace in Kabul, Afghanistan

The three-story palace contains 80 rooms and displays a combination of European architectural elements with traditional Afghan design patterns on its facade.

King Amanullah Khan commissioned the construction of Tajbeg Palace in 1920 as part of his plan to establish new government buildings in Kabul.

The palace gardens follow the traditional Moghul terraced design, similar to those found in the famous Babur Gardens of Kabul.

The palace stands on a strategic hill in southwest Kabul, offering views of the surrounding Darul Aman district and the Hindu Kush mountains.

During the Soviet-Afghan conflict in 1979, the palace became the center of military operations, leading to structural modifications and damage to its original design.
