| dbo:abstract | Shamakhi Castle – a fortress built to defend the medieval city of Shamakhi. In the XI-XII centuries, many cities of Shirvan grew and developed, some of them had their defense structures rebuilt. In 1045, Shirvanshah Gubad ( 1043 - 1049 ) built a new strong castle wall of carved white stone and iron gates in Shamakhi, the capital of Shirvan. The remains of the wall discovered by archaeologists during excavations in Shamakhi during the USSR period are considered to be the remnants of Shamakhi Inner Castle (Bala Castle) built by Shirvanshah Gubad. In this era, a new palace complex of the Shirvanshahs was built in Bala Castle. Gulustan Castle, the second inner fortress of Shamakhi, was rebuilt and strengthened in the 12th century. Shamakhi, which became an exhausted capital city after such extensive construction works, is described by writers of that time as an impregnable fortress with iron gates and stone walls, a beautiful city with splendor.
