- Juma Mosque - Shamakhi’s most prominent landmark is the Juma Mosque, one of the largest and most opulent places of worship in Azerbaijan. The current building was reconstructed in 2013, but the original was built in 743AD, making it the second oldest mosque in the Caucasus and the oldest in Azerbaijan. It has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, notably after the devastating earthquake that leveled Shamakhi in 1859 and during inter-ethnic conflicts in 1918. Beyond its historical and religious importance, visitors can simply enjoy the site’s elegance and tranquility.
- Nohur Lake - Nohur Lake is a stunning natural lake in northern Azerbaijan, surrounded by dense forest. It is a popular tourist spot due to its scenic landscape, featuring crystal-clear waters, lush forests, and distant rugged mountains. The lake is ideal for outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and camping, and visitors can also take a scenic boat ride or have a picnic by the water. The area around Nohur Lake is rich in flora and fauna, including rare bird species and endemic plants, making it a favorite among nature lovers.
- Seven Beauties Waterfall - Located in Vandam village near the Georgia border, the Seven Beauties Waterfall is a major tourist draw due to its breathtaking natural beauty. It consists of seven tiers of cascading waterfalls that drop over 70 meters in total. Visitors can hike through the surrounding forest to reach the waterfall and explore the picturesque pools and streams. The name “Seven Beauties” is inspired by a poem by the renowned Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, which tells of a prince’s journey to visit seven princesses, each symbolizing a different virtue.
