Ganja - City of Nizami

Ganja - City of Nizami

The history of Ganja is measured not by centuries but millennia, and
archaeologists are still arguing how many of them there have been.
But its fame comes not only from its respectable age but also from its
abundance. The city has impressed travelers with the beauty of
palaces and mosques, the luxury of their decoration, the grace of the
work of Ganja’s craftsmen, and the abundance of goods sold in the
markets. The glory of writers and poets, scholars and philosophers,
architects and warriors who lived in Ganja was even greater. The first
among them is the great Nizami Ganjavi, whose immortal poems still
delight people all over the world. This book is a story of a beautiful
city and its inhabitants, the past and present of Ganja.
