Ganja Gate

Ganja Gate (Azerbaijani: Gəncə qapısı, Armenian: Գանձակի դարպաս, romanized: Gandzaki darpas) is one of the three main gates of the Shusha fortress in Shusha, Azerbaijan, and is located on the fortress's northern side.

In compliance with medieval traditions in urban development of the khanate period, Shusha castle walls were built with four gates.

Shusha's internal castle was located on a peak near the Ganja Gate.

[2] The Ganja Gate bears architectural importance and is often mentioned among other significant 279 attributes of Shusha State Historical and Architectural Reserve of the 18th century.

[3][4] The fortress and the city were part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast; they later came under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, following the Battle of Shusha on 8 May 1992 until 8 November 2020, when the Azerbaijani Armed Forces retook the city after a 3-day long battle.
