The palace was built using raw bricks, river stones, plane trees, and oak, but the most astonishing fact is that not a single nail or drop of glue was used in its construction.
Everything holds together through a unique traditional technique — a secret formula that has been lost over time.
The palace is world-famous for its colorful stained-glass windows (shebeke), exquisite wall paintings, and detailed wooden carvings.
• Caravanserais
