Tour Description

Unique in the architecture Sheki Khans Palace was built in 1762 by Huseyn-khan. The palace has its own special original construction techniques. It is enough to say for example that each square meter of shabaka (box of small wooden parts to be filled with colored glass) consists of five thousand parts, connected with each other without nails!

One of the most famous historical sights of Sheki is fortress Galarsan - Gorarsan ("Come and see"). It is located approximately 4 km north of the city. It is believed that the foundation of the construction of the fortress was laid in the XV century by Sheki ruler Alijan. In 1743, taking advantage of people’s discontentment by Iranian oppression, the governor Haji Chalabi, who declared himself to be a Sheki Khan, found shelter in the fortress and rejected demands of Nadir Shah of deposition. Enraged Shah, demanded to know the reason why Chalabi does not give up. In response he told the Shah - "Come and see." And it became the name of the fortress.
