Azerbaijan | The best-preserved Albanian church.
The sunny weather forecast didn't come true, and it started to rain heavily when I was about to go out.
Sheki Church is not in Sheki Town. There will be many churches to see in the subsequent itinerary. I didn't plan to go, but since I stayed here for one more day, I had time to go.
❤Recommended reason:
Sheki Church is a church built by the Caucasian Albanian Kingdom, which believed in Christianity in history, and it is the best-preserved one. The kingdom established by the Caucasian Albanians once covered most of the northern part of Azerbaijan, but there are not many documents about the Caucasian Albanian Kingdom, and there are even fewer ancient sites, so the cultural significance of this church is quite important.
👍Most recommended:
The church has now been transformed into the Caucasian Albanian Museum.

Farm of the fluffy animals 🦙
Alpacas are adorable, fluffy animals native to the Andes Mountains in South America. 🌄 They're closely related to llamas but are smaller and have softer wool, which is highly prized for its quality and warmth. 🧶 Alpacas are gentle and social creatures, often kept in herds. They come in a variety of colors, from white to black and many shades in between. Spending time with alpacas can be a fun and therapeutic experience! 🥰

What traditional food does Sheki have?
Piti
This is a pottery broth with chickpeas, chestnuts, meat, candied dates, and a thick layer of oil. It tastes a bit greasy, but with aromas of meat and oil, it is worth a try as a unique dish here.
Dovga
I prefer to call it Azerbaijani vegetable porridge. It is yoghurt, rice, mixed with a green vegetable that resembles spinach.
Kebab
Still, in any part of the country, Kebab
Qamburger
is actually a hamburger, which is cheaper than Donar (meat roll), the difference is Donar is filled with barbecue, while in Qamburger it is luncheon meat.
In Sheki, Azerbaijan, there is a hostel, Caravanserai, that receives guests on the ancient Silk Road.
The entire hostel is a stone cave building that traces the old times. Thousands of years ago, merchants took camels, carried goods, and rushed through the desert, plains, and mountains to the hostel.
The room is very luxurious and there are many wooden decorations inside. The yard is filled with tropical plants, and each room is like a small cave.
How much does it cost to stay here? A double room for one night is only 30manet (RMB 120). Only 60 pieces per person!!
