Fuzuli District

Fuzuli District is an administrative area in southwestern Azerbaijan with agricultural lands and mountainous terrain. The region spans diverse landscapes from lowlands in the south to more elevated areas in the north, featuring settlements and infrastructure undergoing reconstruction.

The district was established in 1930 and underwent significant changes during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts. Its return to Azerbaijani control in 2020 marked a turning point that has shaped its recent development trajectory.

Multiple architectural monuments from different periods shape the district's cultural heritage, from traditional caravanserais to religious buildings. These structures tell the story of communities that lived and worked in this region.

The district operates from a temporary administrative center in Horadiz while reconstruction efforts continue across the region. Visitors should expect that infrastructure remains incomplete in several areas and service availability varies by location.

An international airport opened in 2021 through a joint Azerbaijan-Turkey initiative to connect the region with neighboring areas. This facility represents a significant investment in regional infrastructure following the district's rebuilding period.
