The story of the Upper Caravanserai
Sheki was a major stop on the Silk Road through the Caucasus, famous for silk production. Merchants and their caravans rested in large inns called caravanserais.
The Upper Caravanserai, built in the 18th century, has two floors of arched rooms around a large courtyard, with massive gates that were closed at night for security. The historic centre of Sheki was listed by UNESCO in 2019.
