2022Ganja Gate of Shusha Fortress - Miniature Sheet

"Ganja Gate of Shusha Fortress" shown in the picture was built during the reign of Panahali Khan. The gate has been called Ganja or Chilabord gate since the 18th century. This gate is located on the north side of the castle. Even from ancient times, architects considered that acquaintance with the city starts from its castle walls, and the architecture of the city is defined by the castle walls. Therefore, from the point of view of architecture, the main - northern gate of Shusha Castle resembles a triumphal arch. Compared to other gates of Shusha Castle, the Ganja gate has remained in better condition until today.
