Palace of Panah Khan
The Palace of Panah Khan is the historical site of the residence for Panah Khan, the founder of the 18th-century Karabakh Khanate. Today, the site consists of ruins that serve as a physical record of Shusha's early administrative history. Visitors go here to see the architectural remains of the khanate's foundation and to understand the city's historical layout.
Getting There
The site is located within the city of Shusha. Depending on your starting point in the city centre, it is accessible via local transport or a short drive. Travel time typically takes a few minutes as the attraction is centrally positioned within the historic district.
Visit Duration

The site is outdoors, making it most accessible during the spring and autumn when temperatures are moderate. Morning visits are recommended to avoid the midday sun. There are no consistent reports of heavy crowds, though it is more frequented during regional holidays.
