Sardar Palace in Erivan

Palace of Sardar or Sardar Palace (Armenian: Երեւանի սարդարի պալատ, Persian: کاخ سردار) is the former residence of Sardar, the ruler of the Erivan Khanate. It was located in the northeastern part of the Erivan Fortress in Yerevan, on the left bank of the Hrazdan river.

During the Russian-Persian War of 1827, the fortress was destroyed, and the palace itself was in ruins, with the exception of the personal pavilion of the Sardar. During 1914–1918, the remains of the ruined palace were also destroyed. Later, on the site of the palace, according to the project of R. Israelian, the building of the “Ararat” winery rose.
