The Palace of the Nakhchivan Khans is an 18th-century building that served as the residence of the khans who ruled the short-lived Nakhchivan Khanate from 1747 until Russian annexation in 1828. It is a two-storey structure with arcaded galleries and a tiled roof, typical of late-period Persianate court architecture in the South Caucasus.
The building has been restored and now functions as a museum showcasing the history of the khanate and the daily life of its ruling family. Rooms are arranged with period furniture, ceramics, weapons, and manuscripts. The palace sits within a walled garden and offers one of the more atmospheric historical experiences in the city.
