Darul Aman Palace (Pashto: د دارالامان ماڼۍ; Dari: کاخ دارالامان; 'Abode of Peace' or, in a double meaning, 'Abode of Aman[ullah]') is a three-story palace located in Darulaman locality, about 16 km (9.9 miles) south-west of the center of Kabul, Afghanistan. Surrounding the palace are the National Assembly, the National Museum of Afghanistan and the Afghan International University. The 150-room Darul Aman Palace was originally built in the 1920s, during the reign of Amanullah Khan. He reigned as Emir of Afghanistan between February 1919 and June 1926, and as King of Afghanistan between June 1926 and January 1929. The palace was severely damaged during the 1990s civil war. However, between 2016 and 2020, the palace was renovated and restored to its former glory. Most work was completed for the 100th anniversary of Afghan independence, which was on 19 August 2019. The site is open to the public and tourists.
