Culture and History
A settlement dating from the Late Bronze Age is recorded in Bayramlı. The Baydar City Ruins and Baydar Shrine are located in Bayramlı. A stone cist necropolis dating from the 8th–7th century BC is also recorded there.
More than 30 kurgans have been identified at the Baydar Mound Necropolis; eight kurgans have been excavated. The covers of the Baydar kurgans usually measure 6–7 metres in diameter and occasionally reach 10–12 metres. Obsidian and ceramic fragments were found in the covers.
The Baydar graves are generally approximately square in plan and usually 1.7–1.8 metres deep. They have no dromos, meaning no access passage. All the graves examined at the Baydar Mound Necropolis contained secondary burials.
The Baydar Mound Necropolis is associated with the archaeological culture of Khojaly–Gadabay. In this area, this culture is represented by monuments dating from the second half of the 2nd millennium BC to the beginning of the 1st. The Baydar Mound Necropolis was the first complete cemetery identified with this practice of secondary burial.
Shamkir's German heritage includes original German houses, a Lutheran church dating from 1909, and a German park. The Ashiq Art Museum operates in Shamkir.
