Panah Ali Khan’s Palace, 18th-century Khanate residence in Aghdam, Azerbaijan.
Panah Ali Khan's Palace is an 18th-century residence featuring a central domed hall with vaulted rooms arranged around it. The structure contains multiple connected chambers with pointed arches supported by stone columns, while the eastern section houses tandoor ovens and the western area features a rectangular structure.
The residence was built between 1754 and 1759 as part of the Imaret Complex during the establishment of the Karabakh Khanate. It represents the consolidation of rule in the region during this formative period.
The building displays Persian architectural influence through its octagonal dome and traditional entrance porch design. These elements reflect the region's cultural connection to Persian building traditions.
The site is best visited during daylight hours when natural light enters through the openings and dome. Visitors should move carefully given the age and condition of the historic structure.
The palace was designed with tall sycamore trees planted during its original construction. These trees remain visible today and form an important part of the original design.
