Mingachevir, Industrial city in central Azerbaijan.
The city spans across both banks of the Kura River at an elevation of 545 meters, featuring a combination of Soviet-era structures and modern buildings.
Mingeczaur emerged from a small settlement into an urban center in 1948, with German prisoners of war contributing to its initial construction after World War II.
The Mingeczaur Historical Museum maintains over 14,000 artifacts that represent the region's heritage from the Eneolithic period through the 17th century.
The Mingeczaur reservoir and hydroelectric power station, completed in 1953, supply essential irrigation and electricity to numerous regions throughout Azerbaijan.
Archaeological excavations in the area have revealed settlements dating back to 3000 BC, which were discovered during the construction of the hydroelectric station.
