Description
1870 y․

A correspondent of the “Kavkas” who visited Gandzak (Yelizavetpol) in the late 1870s describes it in the following way, “...Not far from the aforementioned mosque, the city’s only hotel Kovkas is located. Quite a large building, it is absolutely devoid of any architectural forms, bearing a close resemblance to an Oriental caravanserai rather than a hotel in a provincial city."
