Paghman Hill Castle, also known as Paghman Palace (Pashto: د پغمان ماڼۍ), is located in the town of Paghman in Afghanistan, a short distance northwest of the city of Kabul. The site opened to the public in 2014 and is visited by many tourists, especially during major festivals.[1][2]

The castle and surrounding areas are sometimes used as a location to host foreign guests.[3] The site of the palace is less than 10 km (6.2 mi) to the northwest of Qargha Dam.[4]
