    • Sheki Khans' Palace was built between 1761 – 1762, a period of economical and construction decline in the rest of Azerbaijan, by the order to Hussein Khan, (also well known as a poet under his pen-name Mushtag).

    The building of Sheki Khans' palace according to its expressive architectural structure, without a single nail, numerous shining walls which decorate the interior, the riches of graceful wooden works, magnificent frescos inside and exquisite stained glass work, can be considered a rare architectural work.

    • There were 5 caravansarays (inns) running in Sheki in its’ glory days. Now only 2 still stand – one is abandoned, while the other was completely restored and transformed into a charming hotel.

    • Besides the palace, the fortifications of the “ Gyalyarsan - Gyorarsan ” fortress, together with a round place for praying and other subsidiary buildings, some transformed in museums and workshops and some in ruins, can be seen.
