South Caucasuan Treat

The historic city of Sheki, located at a short 5-hour drive from the capital of Azerbaijan - Baku, was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List of cultural sites. Set at the foot of the greater Caucasus mountains and divided in two by the Gurjana River, Sheki is home to the palace and summer home of the Sheki Khans. A unique architectural monument of the empire of Khanate, the Sheki Khans’ Palace was built in 1762 by Huseyn Khan surrounded by scores of charming chinar trees within the Khan’s fortress at the top of this appealing Silk Road city.
