This place is stunning. It is very exciting that people who build it didn't use any nails or glues. And the trees in the yard are beautiful also. I felt that I am traveling in time!

First of all the village is not called Gishi, it's the village Kish in the region of Shaki, Azerbaijan. The village Gishi is in Nagorno Karabakh republic, that's not the same. Then the church is not Albanian. It's the church of Saint Eghishe. It's an ancient Armenian church.

Новая шекинская крепость располагается на северо-востоке города. Крепость была построена в период властвования первого шекинского хана Гаджи Челеби (1743-1755. Высота крепости над уровнем моря 750 метров на севере, 710 метров на юге. Общая длина крепостной стены снаружи 1300 метров, высота ее в северной части 4 метра, в южной около 8. Толщина стены 2,20 метра. С севера и юга крепость закрывается арочными воротами, вдоль стены расположена 21 защитная башня. Стена и башни крепости дошли до нас сильно разрушенными. В 1958-1963 годах крепость была восстановлена. Крепость - часть историко-архитектурного комплекса "Юхары-баш".

The sheki fortress was very tall. It's impressive to see the walls and enjoy the view from up there.

Interesting place from the outside, looking much like a church. Inside mainly a collection of local artefacts and photos from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some more interesting than others. Many items labelled in English but like many provincial museums in this part of the world the manner of display is not unlike a museum you may have visited during the Soviet era, all a bit haphazard and in need of modernisation although that might take the olde wolde charm away Worth a visit if in the vicinity.
