Darul Aman Palace

Darul Aman Palace is a three-story-tall palace located about 16 kilometres south-west of the centre of Kabul, Afghanistan. It sits directly across from the National Assembly Building, and is close to the National Museum of Afghanistan and the American University of Afghanistan.

The 150 room Darul Aman Palace was originally built in the 1920s, during the reign of Amanullah Khan. He reigned as Emir of Afghanistan between February 1919 and June 1926, and as King of Afghanistan between June 1926 and January 1929. The palace was severely damaged during the 1990s civil war. However, between 2016 and 2020, the palace was renovated and completely restored to its former glory, work being largely completed for the 100th anniversary of Afghan Independence, which was on 19 August 2019.
