As such, the Oshnaverci Palace is often also used metonymically to refer to the government of Zaclaria. Designed by famed architect Ashik Al-Qurhorbi for Imperator Darcaes in the mid-19th century, the massive 483,523 ft² palace sits on the edge of Koushahr Bay and is part of a 21-hectare complex that includes 12 acres of gardens, contains 285 rooms, 46 halls, and 6 bathhouses.
