Tajbeg Palace History
It was built during the 1920s under the reign of King Amanullah. Tajbeg initially served as the residence of the Afghan royal family.
Tajbeg Palace is the site where former president Haffzulah Amin was killed by the Soviets in 1979 at the time of the USSR war against Afghanistan.
Following the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets, Tajbeg served as the headquarters of the USSR army.
