The well-preserved Khudoyarkhan Palace, also known as "Urda," in Kokand was designed by Mir Uaydullo. Its construction involved artisans from Kokand, Kanibadam, Chust, Namangan, Ura-Tyube, and Kashgar. Covering four hectares, the palace's foundation is three meters high, necessitating a ramp to access the east gate. The inscription "Great Said Muhammad Khudoyarkhan" is written in Arabic script above the gate. Originally 138 meters long and 65 meters wide, it comprised seven courtyards and 119 rooms, surrounded by inner and outer walls. Today, only two courtyards and 19 rooms remain. The 70-meter façade is striking with its colorful ornamentation, including geometric patterns, arabesques, and floral motifs, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship of Fergana Valley artisans. The palace's décor features ganch carving, painting, and Quranic verses on blue ceramic tiles. A large mosque (100m x 30m), once part of a madrasah, is located in the eastern section and now houses the Kokand Regional Museum.
