It's an incredible place. And although it's a long way to get there, I definitely wanted to get here. And I was absolutely not mistaken. It's a stunningly beautiful place. And on the way you will see the peaks of Mount Ararat.

It is one of the buildings worth seeing in this region, the roads are beautiful and there is no parking problem. Just walking around the empty rooms of the palace does not give pleasure after a while. It would be perfect if at least a few rooms and halls were designed according to the period and the exhibition was created.

If you will visit us in the province of Agra, be sure to visit. A new model (in the sense of everything being restored again), but interesting. Especially Zindan. Both the view of the palace and the view from the palace are beautiful. Nearby are the remains (ruins) of the Bayazet fortress. For lovers of antiquity and creativity of Pikul.

It is very interesting and unusual. I definitely recommend it. Mostly they are visited by locals. If you want to know how the sultan's harem lived, how 200 years ago they swam in pools, and the servants lived in the basement, go there.
