Lashkari Bazar, Archaeological site in Lashkargah, Afghanistan.
The palace complex stretches over 5 kilometers along the east bank of the Helmand River, featuring three distinct palaces, barracks, and connecting structures.
The Ghaznavid Sultan Mahmud established the site between 998 and 1030, creating a winter residence that flourished until its destruction in the 13th century.
The South Palace exhibits Persian architectural elements through its stucco decorations, wall paintings, frescoes, and carved marble panels depicting court life.
The location experiences minimal rainfall, which has contributed to the preservation of numerous mud brick buildings and architectural elements.
The site contains a 100-meter-long bazaar that connected the palace structures to the community, demonstrating the integration of royal and public spaces.
