In central Ganja, you will discover ancient mosques and hammams built during the reign of the Safavids sitting side by side with structures from the Ganja Khanate and Russian Empire and eye-catching examples of socialist classicism.
The city brims with history, yet it exudes distinctive youthful energy, reflected in its selection as the 2016 European Youth Capital. In and around the city centre, admire atmospheric 19th-century red-brick buildings and discover traces of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic – the first democratic republic in the eastern world whose capital was Ganja.
