Presidential Palace, Dushanbe (must see)

Presidential Palace is a place where President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmonov sometimes has meetings or brings the summit. This building was built in the 40s and is a classic example of Stalinist administrative architecture. This place is very important to the country, because all the main events and meetings are held there. Questions about future life, politics and economics are solved there. The building is tall and of a light brown colour, which gives it more authority. It is landscaped with fountains and gardens.
