 ------------------------------- Quba (also known as Guba and Kuba) is a city and a rayon in northeastern Azerbaijan. It is located on the Kudyal River at 41.37°N, 48.50°E. The fertile region surrounding Quba is best known for its production of apples, the city of Quba is known for its fine carpets. Quba rose to prominence in the 18th century. In 1747, Nadir Shah ruler of the Persian Empire was assassinated. That same year, Hussein-Ali, the Shah's designated rule of the region, decided to attempt to unify the Azeri khanates as an independent kingdom. One of his first moves was moving his capital from the less defensible Xudat in the Caspian lowlands to Quba where he built a fortress. Hussein-Ali died in 1757 and his son Fatali Khan carried on the expansion with Quba reaping the riches of its status as the capital. Some ruins from this period, such as Çirax Qala on the way to Baku, exist today. However, upon Fatali Khan's death in 1789, the city's fortunes began to turn. In 1806, the khanate was occupied and soon absorbed by the Russian Empire. As a result the city fell into the background of Azerbaijani history and politics. The city is home to several historic buildings, including the Juma Mosque (Cuma M?scid or Friday Mosque), Ardabil Mosque (?rd?bil M?scid) and old hamman (baths). The region is home to a segment of Azerbaijan's Mountain Jews, particularly the community of Krasnaya Sloboda, located just across the river from Quba. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
