Noah's Tomb

Azerbaijan

LoginSave

An octagonal tomb-tower with gilded roof-point stands just outside the small side gate at 狈补虫莽颈惫补苍辩补濒补's south tip. It was built in 2008 but the brickwork is antique styled and it stands on far-older foundations. Whether the site is really the grave of Biblical Noah, however, is a matter of faith.

Walk towards the a gigantic new multidomed mosque that rises behind, then turn around. If the weather is exceptionally clear, you can see the triangular form of Mt Ararat (A臒r谋da臒) on the horizon beside the tomb-tower...which feels suitably symbolic.
