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
Alinja Castle sits at the top of Mount Alinja in the Julfa region of Nakhchivan. The steps leading steeply up to it start from the Gazanchi-Beyahmed road, which you can reach by car or taxi from Nakhchivan city, about 30km away. Local minibuses from Nakhchivan city also pass 1km from the steps en route to the village of Khanegah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Reaching the castle via the stone staircase takes about 45 minutes and requires reasonable fitness. Once there, what you\u2019ll see are the crenellated walls and general layout of the medieval castle, rebuilt as close as possible to its original appearance. There isn\u2019t a great deal to see and do so it\u2019s really the views that make the climb worthwhile, which means it\u2019s important to come at an opportune time – early in the morning or before sunset and in spring or autumn. <\/p>\n\n\n
