Iravan Gate, Historical gate at Shusha Fortress, Azerbaijan
The Iravan Gate, featuring pointed arches and combat towers, stands at the western entrance of Shusha Fortress at 4,705 feet elevation.
Built around 1700, this entry point served as one of three main gates commissioned by Panahali Khan to protect Shusha from enemy invasions.
The gate holds special importance in Azerbaijan's military architecture, representing centuries of regional defense systems and trade connections with neighboring territories.
Located at coordinates 39.757078, 46.73508, the Iravan Gate remains accessible to visitors exploring the historical structures of Shusha District.
The gate's two-tier combat towers, positioned symmetrically, differentiate it from other entrances of Shusha Fortress, particularly the Ganja Gate.
