Tach Khaouli, 19th century royal palace in Khiva, Uzbekistan
The palace contains over 150 rooms organized around nine courtyards, featuring high ceilings and extensive ceramic tile decorations throughout the structure.
Built between 1832 and 1841 by Allakuli Khan as an alternative to Kuhna Ark, the construction involved more than 1,000 workers over eight years.
The palace includes three main sections: the harem for the khan's wives, the Arz Hauli court for legal proceedings, and reception areas for diplomatic meetings.
The palace opens daily for visitors who can explore the decorated rooms, see traditional dance performances, and access the rooftop for city views.
A secret passage connects the harem to public offices, allowing the khan to move between areas without being seen by palace residents.
