Isa spring is one of the most popular recreation places in Karabakh. The place where the spring is located is not far from the city of Shusha, in the Karabakh , at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level, in the midst of thick forests with a beautiful view. The water of the Isa spring is both cold and pure like tears.
According to legend, the spring was first found in the 18th century in the thick forest of the area by a peasant named Isa, and it was named after him.
Isa spring has witnessed many historical events and people who came here for rest. Hundreds of thousands of people used to come to drink water from this spring and enjoy the beauty of these places. The spring was so liked by those who visited here that at one time such a saying became popular among the people: “You was not in Shusha if you don’t visit this spring.” There are many works dedicated to the inimitable beauty of the nature of Karabakh, its wonderful springs, which are rare pearls. One of such works is the song “Isa Bulaghi” with lyrics by Mammad Rahim and music by Bahadur Huseynov.
Unfortunately, on May 8, 1992, the city of Shusha was occupied by the Armenian army, so our people did not have the chance to drink the healing water of this legendary spring for a long time. However, after the glorious victory of the Azerbaijani Army in the Second Karabakh War, the pearl of Shusha, one of its symbols, the Isa Spring, was completely restored by the Shusha City State Reserve Department. The top of the spring is made of marble, the name is written with national ornament and it is fully equipped with water supply.
