Shakikhanov's House Tourism

Shaki Khan's Palace, also known as Shakikhanov's House, is an exquisite historical monument located in Sheki, Azerbaijan. This architectural marvel was built in the late 1700s during the rule of Huseyn khan. The palace stands out for its lavish decorations and intricate design, which reflect the artistic and cultural pinnacle of the Khanate period. Crafted with precision, the structure boasts remarkable stained glass work called 'shebeke' without using nails or glue, and vibrant frescoes that adorn the walls and ceilings. The layout features several courtyards, fountains, and lush gardens that provide a peaceful solitude. Visitors can explore the corridors and rooms that once served as living quarters for the Khan, which now display artifacts representing Sheki's rich historical tapestry. The site exemplifies the synthesis of Azerbaijani craftsmanship and Islamic architecture, particularly evident in the geometric patterns and floral motifs that decorate the palace.
