Palace of Khudáyár Khán, Royal residence in Kokand, Uzbekistan

The Palace of Khudáyár Khán spans 138 meters in length and 65 meters in width, featuring intricate ceramic tiles adorning its grand facade.

Built in 1871 by architect Mir Ubaidullah, the palace contained 113 rooms across seven courtyards before Russian forces demolished parts of the structure in 1918.

The palace walls display detailed Arabic inscriptions made from majolica tiles, declaring the authority of Seyid Mukhammad Khodoyar Khan as the supreme ruler.

Visitors can explore 19 preserved rooms that contain exhibits of traditional clothing, metalware, and jewelry, with English-speaking guides available for tours.

The architect tested the building's stability by placing millet grains atop a minaret to monitor vibrations from neighboring paper manufacturing facilities.
