Peter the Great’s Hut

About

During the Persian Campaign of 1722, a two-room dugout was built specially for the Russian Tsar Peter I. In 1848, Mikhail Vorontsov, the governor of the Caucasus on behalf of the Russian Empire, ordered the site to be fenced off and a memorial plaque installed, stating that the Russian emperor once stayed there. Today, a museum stands on the site of the hut. It displays old shell casings, anchors, and everyday items used by the garrison, all found during archaeological excavations.
