Bagh-e-Bala Restaurant (Kabul)

Afghanistan / Kabul / Kabul
 palace, restaurant, interesting place

19th century palace

A graceful, many domed palace glimmers on a hill to the north of the city. Called Bagh-i-Bala (High Garden), it was built by Amir Abdur Rahman (1880–1901) as a summer palace. He died here. The palace has been handsomely restored and furnished with some of the original furniture, and the stucco and mirror-studded decoration of the interior faithfully represents the original. It is now Kabul’s most attractive restaurant. The terrace affords a spectacular view of the Kabul Valley.
