The Divankhana is a rotunda pavilion built on a tall stylobate in the north-west of the Shirvanshahs Palace, located in the historic Old City of Baku, in Azerbaijan.
In Leonard Bretaniski and Sara Ashurbeyli's studies, the Divankhana was built in the fifteenth century by the order of Shirvanshah Farrukh Yasar.
These sessions were held directly in the octagonal hall of the rattan carpets decorated with the participation of the king and his officials.
The hall reflects the crown image, which is a symbol of statehood, with a richly carved ornament on the west facade.
The stylistic features and the incomplete embroidery work date the Divanjan to the end of the fifteenth century when the Safavid armies took Baku.
The clerical plan, the content of the inscription on the ground floor and entrance to the hall (Quran, verses 10, 26 and 27) show that it is a memorial place.
The eight-story hall is aimed at an open gallery with five facets of shaped backgrounds on the shaded columns of a specific order.
The inner interior of the rotunda is constructed in the form of a dome-shaped, transverse eight-way transitional arc with the shape of stalactites.
[3] The perimeter around the square-shaped yard of the ceiling, open array galleries are located on the colloquium, which is similar to the rotunda.
The courtyard's gallery is lower than the Divan's sign and is a unique backdrop of the eight-point Roton's rigid stylobate.
