The Queen Darejan Palace (Sachino, Queen Darejan Palace, დარეჯან დედოფლის სასახლე) is a Palace built in 1776 for the wife of the then-ruling king of Georgia and the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti Irakli II. The palace building was a fortress that miraculously survived the invasion of the Iranian Shah Agha Mohammed Shah Qajar.

Many years later, the palace became a monastery, a seminary and a parish school. In the 70s of the XX century, the palace became the district museum of 26 commissioners, and the church was used as a warehouse. A little later, the palace became a one-actor theater, but after 1991 it became a monastery again, but now a women's one. Since 2003, the Mercy House has been operating here, and the entire Palace is an ornament and one of the symbols of Tbilisi.
