Ibrahim Khalil Khan palace, Palace in Shusha District, Azerbaijan

Ibrahim Khalil Khan palace is a square palace in southeastern Shusha, near Dashalty village, enclosed on four sides by fortress walls with semicircular towers open to the interior at each corner. Its main entrance faces north and is shielded by a projecting prismatic volume, a device also used at Shusha fortress's Ganja Gate. The entrance door has a massive stone jamb (2.40 x 0.70 x 0.45 m) beneath a 2.10 m stone frame, with a relieving arch of dressed stone and a tympanum of large rough stones.

The building was constructed in the 1750s under the order of Panah Ali Khan, founder of the Karabakh Khanate. It became the administrative center of this newly established realm and served as a symbol of the ruling family's power.

The entrance displays local construction methods with a stone relief arch and rough stone tympanum typical of Shusha's regional style. These features show how builders adapted their craft to the surrounding landscape and available materials.

The palace is located near Dashalty village in southeastern Shusha, with its main entrance on the northern side of the complex. It is best visited during daylight hours when you can see the stone details and tower features clearly.

The entrance door frame rests on a single stone lintel measuring 2.40 by 0.70 by 0.45 metres, set in a 2.10-metre stone doorway. Above it sits a relieving arch of dressed stone, while the tympanum is filled with large rough blocks in buta masonry. The same door arrangement recurs across Shusha's architecture.
