Tajbeg Palace

Tajbeg Palace (Pashto: د تاج بېګ ماڼۍ; Persian: قصر تاج بيگ; Palace of the Large Crown), also inaccurately called the Queen's Palace, is one of the palaces in the popular Darulaman area of Kabul, Afghanistan.[1] The stately mansion is located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south-west from the city's center.[2] It sits on top of a knoll among foothills where the Afghan royal family once hunted and picnicked.

Originally built in the 1920s to house the Afghan royal family, Tajbeg Palace is one of the most impressive landmarks of Darulaman, a district created during the era of Amanullah Khan by a team of European architects in an attempt to modernize Afghanistan. The Palace served as the residence of General Secretary Hafziullah Amin. The palace was damaged during the civil war in the 1990s but was fully renovated in 2021.[1]
