Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

\n\n\nGetting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once an important stop on the legendary Silk Road, the city of Sheki in the north-west of Azerbaijan is located around 4-4.5 hours of drive from Baku. You can travel to Sheki by car or take one of numerous inter-city buses leaving for Sheki from the Baku International Bus Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Resting in the shade of 500-year-old plane trees at the top of Sheki, the lavishly decorated Palace of Sheki Khans is our most exquisite architectural monument of the khanate period. The local rulers clearly had an eye for detail: the palace is laden with intricate details both inside and out, from sprawling frescoes to geometrically patterned tiles. The palace\u2019s windows are also the best place to see one of Sheki\u2019s signature crafts \u2013 shebeke, a technique of filling wooden lattices with thousands of pieces of coloured glass fitted together without glue or nails.<\/p>\n\n\n
