История

The Palace of Sultan Mas'ud III is a Ghaznavid palace in Ghazni, Afghanistan. The palace was built in 1112 by Sultan Mas'ūd III (1099-1114/5), son of Ibrahim of Ghazna. The palace is regarded as one of the most important surviving examples of Ghaznavid architecture, reflecting the dynasty’s political power during the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries. “By the end of the 10th century and beginning of the 11th century, the Ghaznavids began to display a knowledge of civil engineering in the building construction and sophisticated taste in architecture.”(Raza) The palace reflects a period of extensive architecture in Ghazni, when Ghaznavid rulers invested heavily in monumental construction to reinforce imperial authority.
