The City of Poets and Ancient Capital
Shamakhi is one of Azerbaijan’s most historic cities and the birthplace of legendary Azerbaijani poets such as Sabir and Nesimi. Invaders and earthquakes have left little in the way of an old town, but the city’s Juma Mosque was one of the first to be founded in the Caucasus and, in its rebuilt form, is truly splendid. Across the valley, Yeddi Gumbaz houses the tombs of Shamakhi’s last independent rulers.
