Chihil Sutun (Persian: چهل‌ستون, meaning "Forty Columns"), also spelled Chehel Sutoon, Chelsutoon, Chehelseton or Chihilsitoon, is a historic palace with gardens located about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) east of Darulaman neighborhood in Kabul, Afghanistan.

[1] The current palace and pavilion were originally built at the same location by then-Emir Abdur Rahman Khan at the end of the 19th century.

It had been used at times as a state guesthouse during the 20th century, notably being the visiting residence of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, and during the communist era, was used as a government media hub.

[3] The site was heavily damaged by civil war and laid in ruins for years, before it was fully rebuilt and reopened in 2019.

[4] Chihilsitoon is located on the outskirts of the city's urban area, just east from the Kabul River that streams south towards Char Asiab.
