Palace of Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, Renaissance palace in central Baku, Azerbaijan.
The palace exhibits Renaissance style architecture with a symmetrical facade, incorporating Italian designs alongside traditional Azerbaijani architectural elements throughout its quarters.
Built between 1893 and 1902 by civil engineer Józef Gosławski, the palace served as a residence for oil magnate Zeynalabdin Taghiyev until 1920.
The palace now functions as the National Museum of History of Azerbaijan, displaying collections that represent the nation's heritage and development.
Located at H.Z. Taghiyev Street 4, the palace contains multiple exhibition halls spread across two floors with special areas dedicated to historical artifacts.
The construction required 270 craftsmen who used 40,000 rubles worth of gold for ceiling decorations and imported natural birch planks from Russia for flooring.
