A modernist white stone mausoleum on the southern edge of town marks the tomb of Molla Panah Vagif, eighteenth-century poet, statesman, and vizier of the Karabakh Khanate. The original 1982 structure was destroyed during the Armenian occupation; the current rebuild is a faithful reconstruction.
The site has wide views over the Dashalti gorge and is the focal point of the Vagif Poetry Days, an annual festival in late August at which poets from across the Turkic world recite under the stone canopy.
