Ganja, being one of the ancient cities of Azerbaijan, is a treasury of cultural heritage, a source of high spiritual values.
The name of the city means "treasure" from the word of "ganj" or "ganja" in Middle Persian language.
It is the second largest and most important city in Azerbaijan after Baku.
Ganja is located on the banks of the Ganjachai River, at the foot of the Lesser Caucasus mountain range.
The centuries-old history of the city has left many architectural monuments on its streets.
The city, which plays a significant role in the social, political and economic life of Azerbaijan is at the intersection of trade routes. It was here that the Great Silk Road passed.
The founding of Ganja dates back to the middle of the 9th century, but the first settlements appeared here in the pre-Islamic period, roughly in the seventh century, as evidenced by the ancient mausoleums found in these places.
Ganja silk, porcelain and glassware, as well as delicious fruits grown on this fertile land, have always been famous far beyond Azerbaijan's borders. Local cuisine is considered one of the best in Azerbaijan.
The modern city of Ganja is one of the country's scientific, educational and cultural centers. Incredibly beautiful sunny city, literally immersed in the greenery of gardens, every year causes a great interest of tourists.
