Monuments

A spring

The spring named after the poetess Khan gizi Khurshidbanu Natavan as it was built at the expense of the funds allocated by her. It was built in 1873 by bringing water from the surrounding mountains through clay pipes. Until this time, there was a constant water shortage in Shusha. After this spring was built, the city's water needs were almost fully met. The spring was also badly damaged during the years of occupation. The water supply to the spring was damaged, the decor elements made of local marble stones were dismantled and stolen, and the taps of the spring were removed. The bas-relief on the walls of the spring, the composition dedicated to the poetess and the poems of the poetess herself, were destroyed by the Armenian invaders.
