Om denne aktiviteten
The history of Shamakhi starts from 5th century BC, and is popular with its landscape and literature in Azerbaijan.

The first mosque of all Caucasus and Azerbaijan - the Juma Mosque is in Shamakhi. It is additionally called the City of Literature since it was the native land of many Azerbaijani poets.
