Shamakhi - is an ancient Azerbaijan city. It occured in the 5th century BC. In the 9th -16th centuries it was the capital of Shirvan Empire, a residence of Shirvan Dynasty it is by right considered one of the most beautiful cities of the Orient. In the mid-18th century it used to be the center of Shamakhi Khanate. The main landmark of the city is Gulistan fortress (11th – 12th centuries) – the last refuge of Shirvan Dynasty was built for the city's defense. At the same time the mausoleum of Yeddi Gumbez (“Seven Domes”) with numerous burial places of Shamakhi governors, Djuma cathedral mosque (10th century, reconstructed in the 19th century), numerous ruins of the 10th– 17th centuries are very interesting places in Shamakhi.
Present day Shamakhi is a recognized center of winemaking and carpet weaving. Moreover, because Shamakhi was the native land of many Azerbaijani poets, it is called the city of literature. Right near Shamakhi there is an amazing place called Pirkuli, famous with its snowy hills. It is probably the only place in sunny Azerbaijan where you can enjoy active winter pastime: skiing and snowboarding.
