In brief
Shusha stands on the Karabakh ridge above sheer cliffs. Panah Ali Khan founded it as a fortress; in later centuries it became a school of singers, poets and musicians.
In November 2020 the town came under Azerbaijani control and in 2021 was declared the country's cultural capital. Restoration is under way and the Kharibulbul festival has resumed.
