Quba and Krasnaya Sloboda

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

In brief

Quba lies north of Baku at the foot of the Greater Caucasus: apple orchards, carpet weaving and roads into the mountain villages. Across the Qudyalchay river stands Krasnaya Sloboda.

Krasnaya Sloboda is one of the few compact Mountain Jewish settlements left: synagogues, quarters, a cemetery and centuries of community history.
