Palace of Zeynalabdin Taghiyev

During the construction of the palace, Goslawski used classic order, but some elements of the composition and interiors of the halls were inspired by Azerbaijani architectural traditions.

Thus, according to the scale of Baku, a small complex consisting of the architect's works appeared in one of the central areas.

The construction materials used for the building, as well as equipment, furniture, chandeliers and interior were brought from Russia and Western Europe and foreign craftsmen and artists were invited.

It was reported that 270 people were employed as engineers, architects, carpenters and other masters at the construction of Taghiyev's palace.

The pillars of the palace decorated with diamond and colored mirror bottles, and the floor was covered with natural birch planks from Russia.

In April 1920, the Bolsheviks, who had taken power in Azerbaijan, confiscated the Taghiyev palace, and a part of the State History Museum had begun to operate.
