Shaki Caravanserai

Sheki Caravanserai is a historical complex in Sheki, Azerbaijan, that was built in the 18th century by the Sheki Khanate, a prosperous and artistic Azerbaijani state. It was a place for travelers and traders on the ancient Silk Road, where they could rest and exchange goods and culture. The caravanserai has a unique architectural style that blends Azerbaijani, Persian, and Russian influences. It has intricate brickwork, ornate carvings, lavish rooms, and grand halls.

The most amazing feature of the caravanserai is its stained glass windows, called shebeke. They are made of wooden lattice works without nails or glue, and they create beautiful patterns of light and color. The shebeke technique is a special art form that shows the skill and creativity of Azerbaijani artisans. The caravanserai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction that showcases the rich heritage of Azerbaijan and the Silk Road.
