Darul Aman Palace (Persian: قصر دارالامان‎; Pashto: د دارالامان ماڼۍ‎; "abode of peace" or, in a double meaning "abode of Aman[ullah]")[1] is a palace located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south-west outside of the center of Kabul, Afghanistan. It sits directly across from the Afghan Parliament, and is close to the National Museum of Afghanistan and the American University of Afghanistan. In 2019, the palace was fully renovated for the 100th year of Afghan Independence, which was on the 19th of August, 2019 Construction of the Darul Aman Palace began in the early 1920s as a part of the endeavours of King Amanullah Khan to modernize Afghanistan. It was to be part of the new capital city called Darulaman, connected to Kabul by a narrow gauge railway.[4] The palace is considered to be a testimony of the Afghan-German ties, as it was designed by German engineer Walter Harten and his team of engineers.[5] The palace is an imposing neoclassical building on a hilltop overlooking a flat, dusty valley in the western part of the Afghan capital. Designed by French and German architects, it was one of the first buildings in the country to get central heating and running water.[3] Intended as the seat of a future parliament, the building remained unused and partially complete for many years after religious conservatives under Habibullah Kalakani forced Amanullah from power in 1929, and halted his reforms. In later years it served as the medical school for Kabul University, as well a warehouse, and the seat of several smaller ministries.[3] The building was gutted by fire on December 14, 1968, and afterwards restored to house the Ministry of Defense during the 1970s and 1980s. In the Communist coup of 1978, the building was once more set on fire. Much of the building was damaged by tank fire during Shahnawaz Tanai's failed coup attempt on March 6, 1990.[6] It was once again damaged in the 1990s as rival Mujahideen factions fought for control of Kabul. Heavy shelling by the Mujahideen left the palace a gutted ruin, including the garage containing the vehicles of the former king which were removed and used as target practice, all ultimately being destroyed. It was mostly used as a refugee settlement and a nomad camp until the early 2000s, when it became a battalion headquarters for the Afghan National Army.[3] In 2005, a plan was unveiled to refurbish the palace for use as the seat of Afghanistan's future parliament.[7] It was to be funded primarily by private donations from foreigners and wealthy Afghans. The palace one of several targets in a series of attacks launched on April 15, 2012, for which the Taliban claimed responsibility.[8] Eventually it was decided to develop a new building opposite the palace to house the parliament under a grant, provided by India. Construction was completed in 2015. In early 2016 work began on a $20 million restoration project, intended to renovate the palace in time for the centenary of Afghanistan’s full independence in 1919. Nearly 600 tons of debris was initially removed from the 150-room building and by the spring of 2017, workers were taking down plaster and concrete from the inner walls.[3] Over 80 engineers and architects were involved in the project, of which 25 percent were female. It was announced in February 2018, that almost 50 percent of the renovation was complete and then was completed in full by July 2019.

Darulaman Palace is one of the historical monuments of Afghanistan. The building, located eight kilometers southwest of Kabul, in the fourteenth district of Kabul, formerly known as Afshartpeh, was built during the reign of Amanullah Khan. At the time of the construction of this palace, good political relations were established between the government of Afghanistan and Germany, and 22 engineers of the German government were involved in urban planning and repairs. The year 1306 was completed and the palace was built inside approximately 150 small and large rooms that are used by all government agencies of the Amani period.

Darul Aman Palace was a palace built by King Imanullah Khan which was destroyed in the Battle Wars and was later restored by Orakzai government but there is no furniture of any kind. That should be kept and the king's room should be made as it was in its original state Its entrance fee is 500 afghan for foreigners. In front of it is the parliament house and a beautiful view of which I have posted video and pictures. Video and pictures are not allowed inside but I made something so you guys can see. Afghans are not allowed to enter, only foreigners can enter

قصر دارالامان امروزه به عنوان یک جاذبه گردشگری مهم شناخته می‌شود و بسیاری از بازدیدکنندگان داخلی و خارجی از این مکان دیدن می‌کنند.

اهمیت فرهنگی و تاریخی: قصر دارالامان نه تنها یک مکان تاریخی است بلکه نمادی از دوران اصلاحات و مدرنیزاسیون افغانستان در زمان امیر امان‌الله خان محسوب می‌شود. این قصر همچنین نمایانگر تلاش‌های امیر برای بهبود ساختار حکومتی و اجتماعی کشور است.
