Top 10 attractions in Agstafa
Sheki Khan's Palace
Sheki Khan's Palace is tucked away in the fortress courtyard on the high ground in the northeast of the old city of Sheki, and was once the summer palace of the Sheki Khan. This two-story building, along with the pool and old plane trees in the courtyard, has been preserved and later converted into a museum. It is not large in size, over 30m long and less than 10m wide. The layout of the upper and lower floors is the same, with three rooms lined up in a row, connected by a south-facing open corridor. The first floor was where the Khan received guests and handled affairs, while the second floor was for the family's living and entertaining. The outer walls are decorated with geometric patterns made of dark blue, turquoise, and ochre tiles. The interior walls are covered with murals, featuring patterns of flowers in vases and plants, and in the halls upstairs, you can also see entire scenes of hunting and warfare. A distinctive attraction here is the stained glass window called Shebeke, where thousands of pieces of colored glass are embedded into fine wooden grids. The entire structure uses no glue or nails, relying entirely on interlocking wood pieces, creating a display of shimmering light when sunlight passes through.Azerbaijan · Sheki City

In 1139, an earthquake occurred in the area, causing rocks to tumble down from the summit of Mount Kapaz, which towered into the clouds, thus forming the beautiful and charming Lake Goygol. Given its stunning scenery, Lake Goygol has long been a source of inspiration for Azerbaijani artists, musicians, and writers, including the great Nizami Ganjavi, who lived in the region in the 12th century.Azerbaijan · Goygol

The river in front of the hotel, the Kura River, Georgia's mother river, originates in the mountains of northwestern Turkey, flows through Georgia and Azerbaijan, and finally empties into the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Looking at the midday sun and the river was quite enjoyable.
