Shamkir District, Administrative center in western Azerbaijan
Shamkir extends across 1,660 square kilometers of varied terrain, from flat agricultural lands to mountainous regions near the Lesser Caucasus mountains.
The region transformed from an ancient merchant center to a German colony named Annenfeld in the early 1800s before receiving its current status in 1944.
The district preserves architectural monuments from the 9th century, including fortress remains and historical mosques that reflect different periods of settlement.
The Shamkir Hydroelectric Power Station supplies electricity while supporting irrigation systems for the extensive agricultural activities in the region.
Local archaeologists discovered ruins of an ancient Achaemenid palace near Qaracəmirli, indicating early Persian presence in the territory.
