GABALA

Gabala's crown jewel is the ancient city of the same name, boasting a rich history dating back over 1,800 years. Mentioned in the writings of Pliny the Elder and others around the 1st century BC, this once-great city served as the capital of Caucasian Albania for over 600 years. While today, its ruins lie 15 kilometers northeast of the modern city center, nestled between the Garachay and Jovurlu Rivers, they stand as a testament to Gabala's illustrious past. Exploring these remnants allows you to journey back in time and discover the fascinating legacy of this ancient civilization.
Gabala's true magic lies in its breathtaking natural landscape. Hike through verdant forests, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and discover cascading waterfalls hidden amongst the lush greenery. For a touch of luxury, unwind at the renowned Tufandag Winter-Summer Mountain Resort, offering skiing opportunities in the winter and scenic hiking trails in the summer. Gabala also boasts Lake Nohur, a picturesque lake perfect for boating, swimming, or simply enjoying a relaxing picnic amidst the stunning scenery.
