One of the best-preserved examples of Albanian feudal domestic architecture in Kosovo, Tahir Bey's Palace is a fortified compound on the edge of Peja's old town. The architecture follows the pattern of the Dukagjin kulla — thick stone walls, high garden enclosures for privacy, a separate men's reception room (the oda) on the upper floor with carved wooden ceilings, and rifle-loop windows that blur the line between residence and defensive tower.
The palace was home to one of the prominent Albanian bey families of the region under Ottoman rule. Visits can usually be arranged through the Peja municipality tourist office; the building is not always staffed, so calling ahead is worthwhile. The collection inside includes period furniture and household items from the Ottoman period.
