Mikayil Musfig museum is situated on the way of the Khizi and Altiagaj. You can see his museum and get information about his life, family and etc. Because his life was very sad and his death was very tragic. This person was the victim of Soviet repression. You can see on this way the home museum of Jafar Jabbarly too. This person was the popular playwright of Azerbaijan Republic. The same time the colorful mountains of Khizi and the natural resources of our republic. Especially the national park of Altiagaj.

The Winter palace built in 18 th century by Khan (king) of Sheki. Ticket cost 2 man inside you can take a lot of pictures with English speaking guide.
So much has already been said about this palace that it is unlikely people would still come to Sheki without visiting it. And a truly spectacular sight it is. The beauty of the interior wall and ceiling paintings is breathtaking. There is so much to take in that, given the prohibition to take pictures, I wished there was a nice illustrated book available about this and the Winter Palace. There must be one on print, but I couldn't find any on sale on site. If you can get hold of one, even better before your visit, don't miss the opportunity to arrive there prepared for the wonderful sight that awaits you. Sheki has a lot to offer, but if you are short of time, the Sheki Khan's Palace in itself is worth the trip.

We visited the archeological site which is different from the Museum, there were signs on the road when we got near ( our guide didnt know where it was but we used google maps amd was able to find it), a guide met us near the entrance and asked for 3 manat per adults for a tour and one Manat for the car, he spoke good English and was very knowledgeable. He road with us in the car up the hill and explained the 2 excavation sites to us and the old wall where the gate used to be. The fist sight was of the old city. You could clearly see rooms and a sewage system, old pots still half stuck in the ground and animal bones. It was truly awesome then he took us to the next sight which was a burial sight it had three layers the deepest was a pre Christianity grave, the second was a Christian grave and the highest layer was a muslim grave. Then he took us to the ancient wall and explained where the gate of the city was, the views from there were amazing and you could imagine what this place looked liked at its time. The guide explained that many of the artifacts displayed in Museums in Baku are from this site and they are still finding more artifacts there till this day. He also told us there is a small Museum in Gabala city that displays the artifacts found at the site but we didnt visit it. Our kids loved seeing real history right in-front of them. Well worth the 7 Manat we spent!

One of the most beautiful architectural monuments of Lankaran. The palace was constructed in 1913. The elements of national architecture were skillfully used during the house construction in spite of the fact that it was built by French architects.
