High-rise towers have proliferated since the country gained independence in 1990, fuelled by close partnerships with French construction firms (Bouygues, Vinci) and Turkish companies (Polimeks). Turkmenistan, one of the world’s most gas-rich countries, draws on export revenues to fund monumental construction projects : extravagant, almost hallucinatory visions that flourish in the capital, Ashgabat, in the heart of the Karakum Desert.

Winding, steep, and offering spectacular scenery, it is one of the highest highways in the world. It is often the only route connecting the Autonomous Province of Gorno-Badakhshan to the rest of Tajikistan. Geographically isolated, this region has historically been inhabited by the Pamiris, who have been regularly and severely persecuted by the Tajik central government.

In 2013, Ashgabat was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the city with the largest number of white marble buildings in the world, totalling 543 structures with a combined surface area of 4,514 million square metres.

This is the result of the vision of its two successive presidents, Saparmurat Niyazov (who died in 2006) and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. The latter also wrote a book entitled ‘Ashgabat, the White City’ to mark the 140th anniversary of the city’s founding.

The Ashgabat Wedding Palace opened its doors in 2011, to mark the 20th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s independence, and quickly became one of the city’s most recognisable and iconic landmarks. 
Located in the south-western part of Ashgabat, this monumental building is recognisable by its five upper storeys, comprising a glass sphere encased within six concrete and white marble Turkmen stars. Maps of Turkmenistan, crafted from titanium, adorn the sphere. Some people like to joke that it resembles a disco ball, which is fitting for this building named ‘Bagt Koshgi’ (Palace of Happiness).

The interior of the palace, decorated in the Turkmen style, comprises, in addition to administrative offices, reception rooms, wedding shops, cafés, a photography studio, a beauty salon and even a 22-room hotel where anyone can spend the night.
