Darejan Palace

The Darejan Palace is located on a hill above the Metekhi Temple. The powerful walls of the palace are similar to the medieval fortress of Narikala, although the palace was built in 1776. In other countries, the luxurious royal palaces in the Baroque style were already replaced by strict classicism, but Tsar Irakli II decided to build a palace in the style of an impregnable fortress for his wife Darejan Dadiani.
