Ganja Gate

Ganja Gate or Chilabord Gate is one of the three main gates of Shusha fortress and is located in the north of the fortress. The other two gates of the fortress are the Gates of Yerevan and Aghoghlan. The gate, built during the rule of Panahali khan, has already been called Ganja Gate or Chilabord Gate since the 18th century. The way from Shusha fortress through this gate connects the city with Ganja city and Chilabord region of the Karabakh khanate. After the annexation of the Karabakh khanate to the Russian Empire in 1805, the Ganja Gate began to be called as Elizavetpol Gate due to the renaming of Ganja to the Elizavetpol (1804).
