Shusha - cultural and commercial centre

Shusha was a cultural and commercial centre and maintained trade relations with many countries in the East and Europe. Shusha had an extraordinarily beautiful nature. There are 17 neighbourhoods in the city: Seyidli, Julfalar, Guyulug, Chukhur neighbourhood, Dord Chinar, Dordlar gurdu, Haji Yusifli, Cholgala, Gurdlar, Saatli, Kocharli, Mamayi, Khoja Marjanli, Damirchilar, Hamamgabaghi, Merdinli and Taza mahalla. The names of all the neighbourhoods in the city belonged to the Azerbaijani Turks who created this city. In each neighbourhood, there were a bath, a mosque, and a spring. In addition to the natural fortress, the city itself was surrounded by magnificent castle walls. The entrance to-exit from the city was through the gates of Ganja, Aghoghlan and Yerevan.
