Tugh's Melikian Palace

Tugh's Melikian Palace, Melikian palace in Tugh village, Azerbaijan.

Tugh's Melikian Palace is a palace complex in Tugh village in the Khojavend District, featuring a rectangular layout with thick stone walls. The structure includes arched windows and multiple rooms arranged around a central courtyard.

Melik Yegan, an Armenian melik of Dizak, built the palace in the early 1700s; an inscription in the reception room is dated summer 1737. The first floor of the main building dates to the 1720s–30s, while the second floor was added in the early 19th century. Melik Yegan's tombstone inscription is dated 1744.

The palace's reception room carries an inscription of summer 1737 in which Melik Yegan recounts serving Shah Sultan Hussein, Tahmasib and Nadir Shah, who made him khan and prince over six Christian districts including Dizak. The name Yegan is remembered in the village through this building and the tombstone text of 1744.

The palace is located in Tugh village in the Khojavend District and is accessible via the main roads through the village. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and older stairs when exploring the different levels of the complex.

Melik Yegan's two-storey reception room stands about 25 metres south of the castle walls, its first floor entirely underground and linked to the garrison by a secret passage. Its tympanum carries the 1737 inscription recounting his election as melik. In the 19th century, city-style living rooms with balconies on three sides were added above it.
