In historical sources and literary relics, we frequently find such names as «palace poets», «palace employees» and «palace culture». However, do we know what these names mean and how did they appear? What do we know about the importance of the palace in the system of state administration? What was the historical process of the formation of palaces, what were their functions, and what was their historical significance in the system of state administration, namely, what do we know about palaces in the history of the Turkic states? These questions are considered one of the most salient ones in modern domestic historical science. The analysis of the theme related to «Palace» in the Turkic states allows us to find theoretical base in the literature about the state system of the Turkic period, which is considered the historical root of the Kazakh statehood. The analysis of findings show that «Palace» has a special function and an important role in the process of political management. 

Medieval culture and art, formed by the Turks, consist of two important stages. The first is the pre-Islamic period. The Turks, who settled along the great caravan routes connecting the Eastern and Western worlds, certainly contributed to the culture and architecture of this region. The second stage is the era of Turkish-Islamic culture. Where the Turks are the main driving force in the spread of Muslim culture from East to West. The reception of Roman and Byzantine ambassadors in the tent-palaces of the ancient Turkic kagans and Attila, as well as the presence of palace relics of the Karluks in Ferghana and the Oguz-Turkic state formed in Anatolia, allows us to determine the stages of development of palace construction in the history of the Turkic states.
