Krasnaya Sloboda is Quba's smaller sister, located on the northern bank of the gorge of the Kudyal river, just facing it's sibling. You can enter Krasnaya Sloboda arriving from Baku and making a right turn before entering Quba or simply cross the foot bridge connecting the two towns, located between the war memorial on Krasnaya Sloboda's side and Nizami park on Quba's bank.



Although emigration to Israel has taken its toll, the main particularity of Krasnaya Sloboda is that it's populated almost entirely by mountain jews. Nevertheless, the architecture and ambience is very similar to Quba's, although some affluence can be noticed in building refurbishment, as hard currency sent from families in Israel makes life easier. There is an old wooden, barn-style synagogue as well as a new one, of no better inspiration. For the nostalgic there is still a Lenin's statue near the Mayor's office and there are large jewish cemeteries. For a change of mood you can try Vurgun cinema.

Not far from Krasnaya Sloboda you'll also find the village of Khanalygh , where a ethnic group of 1000 Tats who have preserved the original language, customs and traditions.
