The construction of the palace is associated with the transfer of the capital from Shamakhi to Baku after the Shamakhi earthquake, in which Shirvanshah Akhsitan I lost his family members. The architects of the complex were based on the ancient traditions of the Shirvan-Absheron school of architecture. The constructions carried out in different periods were connected with both the unity of dimensions and the harmony and proportionality of cubic buildings, domes and portals, which are the main architectural forms.[13] 40°21′58.42″S 49°50′0.49″W / 40.3662278°S 49.8334694°W / -40.3662278; -49.8334694 3.1 House of the Shirvanshahs Palace of the Shirvanshahs Parts of the palace building did not appear at the same time.

The part adjacent to the western facade was added a little later. In its plan, the palace presents a mixed figure. The small part of the western, northern and eastern facades form a half-rectangular quadrangle; the rest of the east facade and the south facade are composed of two triangular lanterns, the broken lines between them forming four right angles. Since its construction, the palace building has connected 52 rooms with three narrow winding staircases: the first floor has 27 rooms, the second floor has 25 rooms (there are currently 16 rooms on the second floor), and the layout of the second floor basically repeats the layout of the first floor.

A portal staircase leads to a tall octagonal ornate hall covered by a dome. 40°21′58.42″S 49°50′0.49″W / 40.3662278°S 49.8334694°W / -40.3662278;…
