Basqal historic settlement

Ismayilli District

A historic settlement associated with silk craftsmanship and the making of kelaghayi headscarves.

Connect a walk through the historic settlement with an explanation of kelaghayi silk-scarf making. Ask what is actually being demonstrated that day; a shop display and a complete production process are not the same experience.

People live and work here. Respect private courtyards and arrange any workshop or home visits with the hosts.
