The Palace of the Shaki Khans sits within the city of Shaki itself as a stunning architectural gem, its purpose intended to ward off the upheavals of the world in 1797. However, the fate of the ruling Shaki Khans didnтАЩt align with their hopes. While the summer palace offers a whimsical ambiance reminiscent of a scene from a Wes Anderson film, with meticulous symmetry and cosmopolitan flair, its peaceful oasis was intercepted in 1819 by the Russian army. Today, admire the blend of French stained glass, Russian woodwork, Ottoman ceramics, and Iranian mirror work. Marvel at the intricate tilework, depicting the Shaki cavalry bearing pikes adorned with mustachioed heads, while the carved mirrors reflect the stunning sun. Immersed in the palaceтАЩs intricate details, oneтАЩs imagination drifts into the realm of the ShakiтАЩs daily rituals and the invading armyтАЩs impact on their bubble of fantasy. Entry is 10 AZN, open every day from 10AM to 6PM.
