How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.

In brief

Ganja lies west of Baku, about 370 km away. Its history reaches back to the early Middle Ages; Nizami Ganjavi was born and buried here.

Today Ganja is an industrial and university city; Javad Khan Street, the Shah Abbas mosque, the Bottle House and Nizami's mausoleum are its landmarks.
