So much has already been said about this palace that it is unlikely people would still come to Sheki without visiting it. And a truly spectacular sight it is. The beauty of the interior wall and ceiling paintings is breathtaking. There is so much to take in that, given the prohibition to take pictures, I wished there was a nice illustrated book available about this and the Winter Palace. There must be one on print, but I couldn't find any on sale on site. If you can get hold of one, even better before your visit, don't miss the opportunity to arrive there prepared for the wonderful sight that awaits you. Sheki has a lot to offer, but if you are short of time, the Sheki Khan's Palace in itself is worth the trip.

Новая шекинская крепость располагается на северо-востоке города. Крепость была построена в период властвования первого шекинского хана Гаджи Челеби (1743-1755. Высота крепости над уровнем моря 750 метров на севере, 710 метров на юге. Общая длина крепостной стены снаружи 1300 метров, высота ее в северной части 4 метра, в южной около 8. Толщина стены 2,20 метра. С севера и юга крепость закрывается арочными воротами, вдоль стены расположена 21 защитная башня. Стена и башни крепости дошли до нас сильно разрушенными. В 1958-1963 годах крепость была восстановлена. Крепость - часть историко-архитектурного комплекса "Юхары-баш".

You'll need a few hours to see all the grounds and all the active buildings. The tourist office is here with nice bathrooms.

Amazing place to visit - just when you think you can’t take another nutsy driver, cobblestone, or pothole - here’s this church, possibly the oldest in the world, in the center of a little town with a Thor Heyerdahl bust. Who knew. Had a marvelous tour with an English teacher - she made my day. Would recommend this after the so-so Sheki experience.

It is nestled on major Cauasus Mountains at an elevation of 1500+meters, 5000+ feet with higher peaks. Beautiful cable cars take you to the summit of ski slopes. Return ticket in spring was 14 Manat. There is a good restaurant on the top with magnificant vews of snow capped peaks. Views are simply to die for. In 1st week of may temperature was very comfortable in mid 60s F or around 18C and there was still some snow at the top. It is not wheel chair accessible and there are toilets at the top as well as in the restaurant.
