This center is located in the heart of the city and consists of three floors and a vast hall in which all archaeological and historical exhibits are displayed. It also contains other buildings designated for researchers and archaeologists to excavate archaeological excavations within the boundaries of the ancient city of Qabala, to be restored and displayed in this center later.

Qabala is a city 200 kilometers west of the capital Baku, not far from the border with Georgia. This mountainous municipality has ruins of an ancient city wall that dates back to the 4th century BC. This was when Qabala was the capital of a historical state called Caucasian Albania. However, just like Astara, Qabala is mainly favored for the sights around it. The town is surrounded by mountains, and in winter this resort turns into a winter sports heaven. In other seasons you can still soak up the idyllic scenery by hopping on the cable car and floating between the Caucasian summits.

This century-old city was an essential hub on the Silk Road and is one of the most picturesque communities in the country. Cobbled streets, old stone houses, significant palaces, and dilapidated Soviet buildings all together give Sheki its unique character.

Sheki Khan’s Palace is the most dazzling royal residence in Azerbaijan and perhaps the most beautiful structure in the country. The architects didn’t hold back when designing the 18th-century summer house of the ruling Sheki Khan, as this masterpiece features artwork, brilliant stained glass, and grand halls.

Sheki is an epicenter of crafts and arts, and the city has its silk factory and plenty of workshops where you can watch the craftsmen continuing Sheki’s artsy traditions.
