The territory of the site, located about 40km from Baku, is over 81,5 hectares. You can find yourself in both the Bronze Age and a medieval village in an amazing open-air museum in Azerbaijan. Here you’ll witness rock paintings, constructions and everyday items from the 3rd-2nd millennia BC and climb to the top of a fortress dating from 15th centuries, from where an incredible view opens up of the Absheron Peninsula.
