Enter the Shirvanshahs’ Palace, the central part of ancient Shirvanshahs kingdom and dive into the spirit of Islamic civilization while passing through the courtyard and king’s private rooms. Together with your guide you'll get to know the history of the palace and visit the meticulously designed mausoleums that witnessed many troubles for the past two centuries.
