Author's excursions in Shamakhi

Guided walks around Shamakhi in the company of our professional will definitely capture a visit to the ancient fortress of Gulistan. It was built in the IX century AD. After endless earthquakes and wars, only the remains of powerful walls and towers have survived to this day. And at one time the fortress was impregnable and served as a reliable defense. You can learn more about all this, however, as well as about many other things, during one of the excursions ordered on our portal.

The unique mausoleum "Yeddi Gumbez", whose name translates as "7 domes", must be included in the excursion route through Shamakhi and the picturesque surroundings. This architectural complex is located on the outskirts of the old cemetery, where the Shirvan rulers and other notable persons are buried.

And the mausoleum-mosque "Diri Baba", whose name means "living elder", is fraught with many secrets and ancient legends.
