Oshnaverci Palace (Zaclaric Audonian : کاخ سلاطین) is the official residence and principal workplace of the Sultan of Zaclaria. The Oshnaverci Palace is often also used metonymically to refer to the government of Zaclaria. The palace is forty-eight meters high and there are six floors, each accessible by a difficult spiral staircase. In the sixth floor, Music Hall, deep circular niches are found in the walls, having not only aesthetic value, but also acoustic. The Oshnaverci Palace is regarded as the best example of Safavid architecture and a symbol of Iran's Islamic heritage.
