Divankhan Square, Historical square in Shusha, Azerbaijan

The square stands at the entrance of Ganja Gate, marking the beginning of Rasta Bazaar, the central commercial street of Shusha.

The square remained isolated within the Karabakh Khan Palace complex until the early 19th century when reconstruction works opened it to the public.

The northern section contained the Karabagh Khan Palace while the eastern part housed the Divankhan building, where military gatherings took place.

The square connects to two parallel streets in the south, with the 19th-century Bazarbashi caravanserai defining its southern boundary.

The Saint George Church on the eastern side of the square transformed from the Khan's Divankhan into an Orthodox church before its demolition.
