Darul Aman Palace

The story behind the place

Darul Aman Palace was built during the reign of Amanullah Khan in the twentieth century. Conflict badly damaged the building, but a major restoration returned its pale facades and distinctive roofs to view. Its U-shaped frontage combines long rows of windows with projecting end blocks and colonnades. The palace offers a clear example of how one building can carry both ambitious beginnings and a later story of repair.
