The Khashawan Palace (Koman: Qašawan; Khashawan; Pronounced [xäʃ.'βän], lit. Great White Fortress), also known as the White Fort (Koman: Šawan; Shawan), is one of the former imperial residences of the Asharids and is located in the Imperial Citadel of Samadar. The complex and its surroundings are now used as a museum, with some areas being restricted for religious and seasonal events.
Etymology
The name White Fort is a direct translation of Koman Khashawan, it was named after its sandstone walls and the outer white walls that once stood before its overhaul in the 17th century. During its use as residence it was commonly known as the "Blessed Abode" (Dâzak Yâḍêm), colloquially surnamed "the blessed (one)" (Dâzahri).
