    There is free entrance to the territory of the castle where you discover amazing gardens, shah house, ancient Albans church, artisan house and small souvenirs bazar. For visiting Shah House you have to buy the tickets, and frankly, it is not worth it as there is absolutely nothing inside except decorated in same style colorful rooms. No one even small piece of furniture is available. All visitors kept together in a small rooms, however if you are foreigners you have to buy a separate tour. The pictures are not allowed inside.

    It’s world heritage site but I felt the palace is very small and no much detailed like other palaces in different countries but the palace is in Sheki which is very green so overall view will not disappoint you

    The inside of the palace was intricately decorated by beautifully drawn plants, flowers, and even of people, animals and mythical creatures, which was quite unconventional at the time. The colourful stained glass windows further enhanced the interior

    Not many tourists, a quaint place. The ticket to the Khan's Palace is 9 AZN, but photos are not allowed. Not worth paying if you can't click photos.

    Beautiful castle in Şeki and very well maintained. The sun hitting the colored glass is next level and a must see!!

    Absolutely gorgeous interiors with floor to ceiling paintings and stained glass. No photos allowed in the interior. Cost for foreign adults is 9 manat; children are free.

    Located within the premises of the fortress, this summer palace is a reflection of past glory and heritage, the backdrop of caucasian mountains add depth to the place, photography inside the palace is not allowed. The ornamentation, rich coloured strained windows, beautiful decoration, aesthetic designs is quite impressive.

    Nice weather , and quiet place

    No photos inside the building because they need to preserve the delicate wall paintings. It's quite impressive and you will learn about the mosaic glass (among others) from the tour guide who speaks English.

    Amazing building beautifully restored. The stained glass was amazing, as were the painted walls and ceilings. I was particularly taken by one of the king's chambers where the artist had ensured that he be reminded of his transient state. The guide that showed us around was particularly knowlegible and spoke good English. It is a pity that photography is not allowed within the building, but packs of good postcards make up for that.

    The highlight of sheki. Entrance fee is 5 manat and you get a tour of inside. It is stunning inside but you cannot take photos which is a real shame. Staff are nice but seem like they can't be bothered and don't want to be there.

    Small place but a place to visit. No photography allowed inside . Recommend take a guide for a total experience.

  • 5/5 Raphael K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice, inside it is not allowed to take photos (this is also strongly controlled).

    One of the few sights for tourists in Sheki. Large grounds with curio shops, resturants, cafes and green park spaces for the kids. Things start winding down towards sunset and its best to get there earlier in the day to see all the architecture etc. Perhaps Shekis one redeeming feature for my family. The city in general has some ancient character but on a whole can be missed unless one has a local with deep knowledge of the history of the city etc. Downtown Sheki has a few resturants but youll struggle to find people who speak much english.

    Amazing and historical

  • 5/5 Jade 1 year ago on Google
    Loads of information given, big up to the artist who did the soldiers faces from his imagination. Every image had a meaning behind it, love how they have maintained the palace

  • 4/5 Jawad A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful castle but pictures inside not allowed.For foreigners the ticket is almost 3 times more than locals.

  • 4/5 Teentaal S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very small palace. Six rooms, all alike but well maintained. The floor is new and wooden, the wall paintings have influence of central asian and mughal architecture .

  • 4/5 Avi A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice castle with regional history and art. Not a lot to do except the Xan Sarai which is located inside. Souvenir prices are surprisingly reasonable and fair and the restaurant at the castle is not bad either.

    The place is good for a one time visit. Had nothing much to see other than the construction. The entry fee is 5 Manat.
