Approaching the palace, you'll be immediately struck by its grandeur. The facade features a harmonious blend of colorful stained glass windows, ornate wooden latticework, and intricate frescoes that adorn the exterior.

The interior of the palace is equally mesmerizing. The halls and chambers are resplendent with intricate mosaic work, elaborate stucco decorations, and delicate paintings that depict scenes from daily life, nature, and folklore. Each room seems to narrate a story of the past, offering a glimpse into the cultural tapestry of Azerbaijan.
One of the most remarkable features of Sheki Khan's Palace is the use of no nails or glue in its construction. Instead, the wooden beams and pillars fit together like a complex puzzle, showcasing the architectural ingenuity of the time.
