Sanctuaries, fortress, Stepan Razin cave, arboretum and Yesenin Museum

Ancient and modern sanctuaries, mausoleums, a fortress, the dacha of an oil magnate (so luxurious that it has now become an arboretum), the Yesenin Museum and the cave in which Stepan Razin once stood, as well as many historical stories, legends and mystical stories await you on this exciting trip.

Description of the tour:

Sanctuary - mosque with mausoleum Mir Movsum-aga

Mir Movsum-aha is a holy elder who, according to legend, had no bones. He healed tens of thousands of people during his life and was revered as a saint even in Soviet times. After his death, a sanctuary was built on the site of his burial - stunning for its luxury and elegant architecture.

Unlike other mosques, outside it is lined with beautiful ceramics - tiles of turquoise-blue color. And inside its halls and domes are decorated with hundreds of thousands of colorful mirrors-mosaics. The spectacle is truly fascinating. Not surprisingly, celebrities such as Jean-Claude Van Damme and Pierre Richard visited the site.

Merdakan Fortress

The peculiarity of this fortress is that it has almost not been restored and has retained its original appearance. A trip up her creaky staircase will surely be remembered for a lifetime. From the top of the fortress there is a panoramic view of the entire neighborhood. The fortress was built to shelter women and children during numerous raids. This is reflected in its interesting location, which I will tell you about during the tour.

The dacha of Murtuza Mukhtarova, the mystical Arboretum and the Yesenin Museum.

After visiting the fortress, we are waiting for an equally exciting trip to the Merdakan Arboretum - a huge park drowning in greenery. If you have children, they will love the mini-zoo on the territory of the arboretum. This place is considered mystical, and I will tell you why. Arboretum was once the dacha of millionaire Murtuza Mukhtarov. We'll visit his mansion with you, and I'll tell you the tragic story of this oil tycoon. Here the poet Sergey Yesenin once stayed for a long time, we will definitely visit the museum of the great poet with you.

Sanctuary - Por Hasan and Tagiyev Mausoleum

Then we will visit another sanctuary. This time we will visit the ancient sanctuary "Pir Hasan". Also on the territory of the complex is the mausoleum of the famous millionaire-micenate Haji Zeynalabdin Tagiyev. Many stories and legends will be waiting for you throughout the trip.

The mysterious cave of Stepan Razin

At the end of our trip, we will visit the cave in which Stepan Razin stood during his “Persian campaign”. The cave is unknown to many tourists, waiting for you with all its stories about hidden passages and hidden treasures. Stepan Razin Cave is in an abandoned state. Keep this in mind when ordering a tour.
