Architec­ture

Although Panah Khan's house was included in the list of architectural monuments protected by the state in Iravan, in the 60s of the last century, it also suffered a severe fate, and like other monuments belonging to Azerbaijanis, it was destroyed and erased from the earth.

One of the historical-architectural monuments built in the style of the Khan's palace in Iravan and considered a work of art decorated with patterns on all sides was the house of Panah Khan Makinsky. The residential complex belonging to Panah Khan, the son of Suleyman Khan, deputy of the Iravan City Duma, college advisor, was located in the square named after him, at Nalbandyan Street - 19 (former Ter-Gukasov Street). The complex included the khan's two-story house, kitchen, storeroom, one-story house for servants and stables in separate courtyards. The area where Panah Khan Makinski's mansion is located was called Panah Khan Square until recently.

In 1881, in the house of Panah Khan Ma­kinski, "Iravan Khan on Novruz holiday".

In 1882, the performance "Greed makes Enemies" was shown with the parti­ci­pation of local fans. Seven-step staircases were built on the right and left sides of the mansion of Panah Khan, the brother of Hu­seyngulu Khan, the last Khan of Ira­van.

Architecturally reminiscent of the Khan's pala­ce and consi­de­red similar to it, the building of Panah Khan was considered one of the most beauti­ful buil­dings in the city of Ierevan due to its appearan­ce and gran­deur. This building, where theater per­for­man­ces are shown and fa­mous people gat­her, is an important ma­terial and cul­tural heritage of the history of Azerbaijan, which is im­portant from the political and so­cial point of view.
