AZERBAIJAN - NEOLITHIC AGE

Azerbaijan is an ancient land, its culture was formed under the influence of great empires: Persian, Ottoman, and later Russian. Independent states existed on the territory of modern Azerbaijan: the Great Caucasian Albania, which was Zoroastrian, Christian, and finally converted to Islam, the Shirvan and Sheki Khanates. The heritage of these cultures is numerous architectural monuments - mosques, mausoleums of Sufis, Christian churches, palaces of Shirvanshahs and mansions of oil industrialists of the times of the Russian Empire. The land of Azerbaijan has presented the world with great scientists and philosophers, and the works of craftsmen decorate the best museums in the world. A special pleasure is Azerbaijan cuisine. You will appreciate the Caspian fish restaurants, Caucasian meat dishes and, of course, oriental sweets - the famous Baku baklava and halva.
