Gobustan National Park
Gobustan National Park, Nature reserve and archaeological site in Absheron District, Azerbaijan.
The Gobustan National Park holds over 6,000 rock carvings across 537 hectares of semi-desert terrain near the Caspian Sea.
The park territory contains evidence of continuous human settlement dating from 20,000 years ago through the Middle Ages to modern times.
Rock art panels display hunting scenes, ceremonial dances, armed combat, agricultural activities, and diverse wildlife spanning multiple prehistoric periods.
The visitor center maintains daily operations from 10:00 to 17:00 and provides guided tours in multiple languages through marked pathways.
The reserve features the Gaval Dash, a natural stone formation that produces musical notes when struck due to its unusual geological composition.
