Buxoro Amiri Saroyi
Palace (dacha) of the Emir of Bukhara (Russian: Dvorets emira Bukharskogo) is a two-story oriental palace (dacha) in Zheleznovodsk, Russia. On the initiative of the ruler of Bukhara Emirate, Abdulahad Khan, and with the permission of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II, construction began in 1907 and was completed in 1912 during the reign of Alim Khan. The second largest residence of the emir in Russia (the first palace owned by him is located in Yalta, Crimea). Currently, it is an architectural monument of Federal significance of Russia.
Tourists often pass by the palace quickly, as it’s not easy to see from the road. This is a shame because the palace is very attractive, with unusual architecture and an interesting history. It’s considered an architectural monument of Uzbekistan.
The palace’s origins lie in the expansion of the Russian Empire to Central Asia in the second half of the 19th century. Towards the end of the century, strong diplomatic relations developed between Russia and the Bukhara Emirate, and the development of railways continued.
