Nakhchivan, one of the ancient cultural centers of the Near East, is rich in centuries-old historical monuments, examples reflecting the great power and history of our people.

Taking into account its special position in the history of national statehood of Azerbaijan, this ancient cultural pearl began to operate as “Khan Palace” State Historical-Architectural Museum on the basis of the Decree of the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Mr. Vasif Talibov dated October 23, 2010. During the visit this cultural institution we talked Nazakat Asadova, the director of the museum, the Honored culture worker of the Republic of Azerbaijan. We were informed that Nakhchivan khanate which founded by Heydargulu khan in 1747 occupied a significant place in the history of our national statehood. The Turkmenchay treaty signed on the basis of the results of Russia-Iran war on February 10, 1828, the existence of Nakhchivan khanate was abolished as other khanates of Northern Azerbaijan. The same year, Nakhchivan and Erivan khanates were abolished and joined Russia on March 21. According to Nazakat khanim, later, headquarters of Kangarli cavalry housed in the palace. In 1918-1920 the headquarters of Nakhchivan National Defense Council moved here. Although the Khan palace has been in a state of disrepair at various times, it has been preserved to this day, the interior and facade of the building were decorated with national ornaments, the yard was renovated and modern lighting system was installed.
