WUF | Shusha: Azerbaijan’s jewel reborn through geography, history, and innovation

Shusha, the historic jewel of Karabakh, is rising again—where geography, history, and modern innovation converge to shape a city reborn.

Nestled in the mountains, Shusha was chosen for its strategic location, natural defences, and scenic beauty, becoming the capital of the Karabakh Khanate and the cultural heart of the region.

Over centuries, it grew into a centre of architecture, art, and scholarship.

After decades of conflict and challenges, Shusha is now being revitalised with smart infrastructure, heritage preservation, and cultural revival programs.

From restored historic streets and palaces to modern schools, healthcare, and smart city technologies, the city blends its rich past with a forward-looking vision—welcoming a new generation of residents, students, and visitors to experience its history, beauty, and promise.
