Guba
This town is situated 170 kilometers to the North from Baku in the north-eastern part of the Major Caucasus Mountains Chain (with Shahdag mountain as the highest peak of 4243 meters), at the bank of the Kudyal-Chay river. Along the road, which lies between mountains and sea, you will admire beautiful landscapes and historical monuments.
Historically Guba has been known since the XYIII century as the center of Khanate (traditional Azery duchy). Guba Khanate had played a remarkable role in the unification of various separated kingdoms of the Northern Azerbaijan. Guba offers a taste of Azerbaijanian traditional way of life with typical houses, twisting streets, arts and crafts. You will see the oriental bathes, trace of Zoroastrizm - Fire-worshippers' Temple (IX c.), muslim momuments - Djuma Mosque (XIX c.), octagonal mausoleum (XVI c.), Tengialty Castle, Sakina-khanum Mosque (XIX c.).
The Museum of History named after Abbasgulu Bakikhanov (the great Azeri thinker) is an another place of interest of Guba. Guba District is one of the basic horticultural regions of Azerbaijan known for its fragrant gardens, surrounded by picturesque mountains covered by virgin forests, alpine meadows, bountiful rivers and springs. Indubitable sights of the place are springs of rare beauty -Balbulag, Gyzbanovshy-, and Pirbanovsha Cave, which is considered the sanctuary by local residents.
Experience a picnic in a picturesque place with a traditional Azerbajanian dish - kebab - cooked on an open fire. An ancient fire-worshippers' temple dating from the IX c. A.D. is preserved in Khanalig village, one of the suburbs of Guba. A very unique ethnic group of 1000 inhabitants who have preserved their original language, customs and traditions is one of the most interesting components of the vivid and colorful image of Guba District.
