Palace of the governor of Khulbuk, Medieval palace ruins in Khulbuk, Tajikistan
The palace complex extends over an area of 600 by 200 meters, featuring remaining walls and foundations from the medieval period.
The site served as the capital of the Banijurid dynasty between 847 and 963, until its eventual destruction during the Mongol invasions.
The palace architecture combines Persian design elements with Central Asian building techniques, reflecting the regional influences of the medieval period.
A museum opposite the site exhibits original artifacts from the palace, including carved decorations, and requires visitors to remove shoes before entering.
Recent reconstruction efforts have rebuilt the fortress walls using modern methods, while maintaining the original layout of the medieval structure.
