Azerbaijan's independence the town was renamed in honour of the much older city of
Gabala.Gabala was the ancient capital of Caucasian Albania. Archeological evidence indicates that
the city functioned as the capital of Caucasian Albania as early as 4th century BC. The Ruins of the
ancient town are situated 15 km from the regional center, allocated on the territory between
