National revival, national rebirth and reanimation of the national spirit are necessary in order to gain national freedom.
Heydar Aliyev
Ganja Gate
The famous Ganja Gate manufactured by renowned local blacksmith Osmanoghlu Ibrahim in 1063 and taken away by invaders in the aftermath of the earthquake in 1139, was thoroughly restored to its original view by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation in 2008. Adorned by the national ornaments, the Gate was re-installed at the city’s entrance.
