The historic city of Shamakhi is embracing a modern artistic revival with the installation of contemporary public art across its parks and squares, under the “Public Art” project, Azernews reports.

One of the key highlights is the unveiling of the first monumental work dedicated to national dance in Azerbaijan, currently being installed in Shamakhi’s central square. This symbolic piece celebrates the country’s rich cultural heritage through a modern lens.

By the end of April, several other artworks will be introduced as part of the initiative, enhancing Shamakhi’s aesthetic and cultural landscape.

As the new season approaches, Shamakhi is preparing to greet visitors with a refreshed look. Among the most anticipated attractions will be the “Nasimi Gardens” and a giant statue of Imadaddin Nasimi, one of Azerbaijan’s most celebrated poets, poised to become a new landmark of the city.
