A large number of well-preserved landmarks aged 8-19 centuries and an immense cultural heritage made from this place a famous tourist destination.

Lankaran fortress. Special attention among Lankaran city attractions deserves a fortress built in the 18th century and well preserved in its original appearance, is awesome with its high stone walls with rows of sharp teeth. Once in the fortress there were two markets, large and small. But in the early 20th century on their territory were built mosques, which were the main places of worship of the city.

1imgKhanega. Another Muslim religious establishment well preserved to our days – Khanega. This is a complex of mausoleums and mosques, hidden from prying eyes by a fortified wall. Khanega is located on the banks of Pirsagat river, near the ancient road from Shamakhi in Iran. Part of Khanega was a caravanserai, where could stay the pilgrims who came to venerate the relics. Khanega is known for its magnificent architectural decoration: artistic stone carvings, ceramic ornaments and ingenious paintings. Its main facilities are aged 12-14 centuries, but later on they were rebuilt and reconstructed more than once.

House of Mirakhmad Khan. In the city center there is a house of Mirakhmad Khan – one of the most beautiful buildings of Lankaran. This palace was built in 1913. Despite the fact that the author of the project was a French architect, in the construction of the building were used many elements of national architecture and decor. In addition, a three-storey palace is the first high-rise building in the city.
