- Diri Baba Mausoleum - Diri-Baba is a remarkable 15th-century two-story mausoleum situated along the road from Baku to Shamakhi in the village of Maraza, opposite an ancient cemetery. For many years, locals believed that a saint named Diri-Baba was interred here and remained incorruptible. Numerous legends and mystical tales surround this monument. From the 17th century onwards, it began to draw numerous pilgrims and travelers. The building’s uniqueness lies in the architect’s design, which appears to “embed” the tomb into the rock, giving the impression that it is “suspended,” detached from the ground. The tomb is admired for its architectural austerity, the purity of its lines, and the contrast between the dark rock’s irregularities and the light, smooth surface of its walls, which stand out solemnly.
- Juma Mosque - The Juma Mosque in Shamakhi is unparalleled in Azerbaijan. Its vast prayer hall is divided into three independent sections, connected by wide open apertures. Each section features a separate mihrab and entrance. Despite being destroyed by wars and earthquakes, the mosque has been rebuilt multiple times, achieving its modern appearance in the 20th century.
- Yeddi Gumbaz Mausoleum - The Yeddi Gumbaz Mausoleum, or “Seven Domes,” dating back to the 15th century, is located at the base of the Gulistan fortress. It is popularly known as the tomb of the Shirvan rulers in Shamakhi. Prominent members of the Shirvanshah dynasty are interred here. The name “Seven Domes” refers to the number of tombstones within the crypt.
- Lahic - Lahij is a village named after the Lahij tribe, who settled here in the 4th-5th centuries from Iran. This historical and architectural site was established in the 5th century within the Girdimanchay river canyon.
