Quba

First stop in Guba will be the ancient Handmade Carpet Factory called “Qadim Quba” which you will see the process of vowing carpets by the women of the city. You will have the opportunity to see how carpets, the copies of which are kept in the best world museums, are woven.

Sakina-Khanum Mosque was built in 1854 by the widow of Abbasgulu Bakikhanov. The mosque was built from red bricks and is similar to faceted cylinder. Each facet has a window in the form of a semicircular arch. The top of the facade is surrounded by an original eaves made from small bricks. From top this stately building is crowned with a big white metal dome in the shape of a multi-faceted helmet. The top of the dome is decorated by a graceful thin spike.
