Shusha State Historical and Architectural Reserve

The reserve extends across a mountainous terrain at an elevation between 1,400 and 1,800 meters, containing numerous historical buildings and cultural monuments.

The establishment of this protected area in 1977 marked a significant step in preserving architectural heritage from the Karabakh Khanate period.

The reserve contains structures that demonstrate the Arran Architectural School style, featuring regional design elements and construction techniques developed over centuries.

Visitors can explore approximately 200 architectural monuments within the reserve, including residential buildings, religious structures, and historical fortifications.

The site maintains examples of 18th-century military engineering through its fortress walls, which integrate naturally with the mountain landscape.
