(詳細はAzerbaijani state reserve and is on the Azeri tentative list of future World Heritage Site located in Shusha district of Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1574/ )〕 == Historical overview == As a result of unstable political conditions in Caucasus several independent khanates and sultanates emerged. Due to potential dangers of interstate wars, building defensive strongholds were a must.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.karabakhfoundation.org/regions/shusha )〕 This served as a reason for emergence of many fortress towns throughout Azerbaijan. The ruler of newly established Karabakh khanate, Panah Ali Khan, founded the town of Panahabad later to be renamed to Shusha. His other strongholds were the Bayat Castle (1747) and Shahbulag Castle (1752). After Russian takeover of the khanate in 1805 according to Kurekchay Treaty and following Treaty of Gulistan and Treaty of Turkmenchay, khanate was abolished and its capital Shusha was turned into a provincial center in 1841. Shusha is located on the top of the mountain, sometimes called "the city on the rock" with three steep precipices and is surrounded by dense woods. The main entrance road facing north towards Ganja was the Ganja Gate. The peak altitude is 1,600 metres above sea level, the lowest part is 1,300 metres above sea level. The city has a clear view of surrounding areas which rules out any type of sudden attack by invaders.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shusha State Historical and Architectural Reserve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
