Guba, Historical town in northeastern Azerbaijan.

Located at 600 meters above sea level on the northeastern slopes of Shahdag mountain, Quba extends along the right bank of the Kudyal river.

In the mid-18th century, Hussain Ali established Quba as a fortified city, which gained prominence under Fatali Khan's rule from 1758 to 1789.

The city maintains Azerbaijan's largest Mountain Jews community and preserves traditional carpet weaving techniques through the Qadim Quba manufacturing company.

The region contains 155 educational facilities, including schools, vocational centers, and medical institutions serving a population of 47,200 residents.

The Guba Genocide Memorial, established in 2013, stands at the location of mass graves discovered in 2007.
