Historical buildings and architecture of the XIX century in Derbent

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Derbent is rich and interesting not only in ancient history, but also in later historical buildings and architectural monuments of the XIX – early XX centuries. While walking around the city center (not in the Magala district), especially along Lenin Street, you will encounter many buildings of this period recognized as cultural and architectural monuments of regional significance.

You can find out such buildings by the signs fixed on the facade of the building, but, unfortunately, they do not give any information about their significance and history. But they have QR codes on them, after reading which you can get to the page with the description. So go for a walk around Derbent with a smartphone and a connected mobile Internet, and learn a lot of interesting things that most other tourists and even guides do not suspect.

And here is a list of the most interesting, in our opinion, objects:

• Gamdulla Abdullaev's house on Lenin street, 44
• The house of the merchant Mirzoev on Lenin street, 56
• A. Gadanov's house on Tagi-Zade str., 23
• The building of the hotel "Grand Hotel" on Lenin street, 8
• Hanukayev's apartment building on Lenin street, 73
• Railway station building at 7 Vokzalnaya Street
