One of the outstanding monuments of architecture is the Palace of the Shaki Khans, built in 1764, distinguished by incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. The palace is located inside a complex located in the north-eastern part of the city on a hill surrounded by fortress walls. Until 1765, Shaki was not surrounded by fortress walls, during the attacks the population took shelter in the fortress with the interesting name "Gellersen Gorersen" (you'll see if came ).
The construction of the 2-story building began 4 years before the walls were erected, and not a single nail was used in the process.
Over time, the palace in Shaki received the status of a pearl of Azerbaijani architecture.
