The palace was built in the early 20th century for the wife of oil industrialist Murtuza Mukhtarov. The project was developed by the famous architect Joseph Ploshko.
Today, the Wedding Palace is located here. This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Baku. However, unfortunately, due to the narrow street adjacent to the palace, it is not easy to take beautiful photos of it.
A magnificent historical monument to the history of tragic love.
For some reason it is called the Baku Notre Dame, but it is rather Venetian-French Gothic. But very beautiful
An interesting story: When applying, the registration worker stated that before applying for marriage registration, both applicants need to donate blood for an AIDS test. And only after 30 days, after the test is "-", it will be possible to submit an application.The waiting period for reflection is another 30 days.In total, everything will take 60 days.For foreigners, in addition to a foreign passport, you also need an internal passport of the country of arrival, a copy of the divorce or a copy of the death of the former spouse. The cost of copies of documents = 0.6 manat.
There was no change🤫. The analysis for the test from vienna was taken by Dr. Nail. Professionally and painlessly. 20 manats were paid for 2 tests.The payment receipt was not issued.
PS.While waiting for the end of the break (from 14:00 to 15:00), the toilets were closed. The woman who cleaned the premises of the Palace of Happiness said: toilets are not allowed to use. Very strange.🤷♂️
The next day I managed to get into the toilet. A photo to make sure that he was clean and in order.👌
Soon, at the age of 21, it will be 50 years since my husband and I registered our marriage in the Palace of Happiness, September 3, 1971. We have 6 children, all alive and well. we have grandchildren and a great-grandson. It's just a pity that we can't visit our Baku and the Palace of Happiness again on our 50th anniversary. BAKU has always been, is and will always be our homeland and home.
