Water facilities in the architectural and socio-cultural space of the city (on the example of medieval Derbent)

Medieval Derbent, the southernmost and most ancient city of Russia, showcases how water facilities played a pivotal role in shaping its architectural and socio-cultural landscape. A comprehensive analysis reveals that these structures, integral to urban planning, were designed with cohesive materials and styles that created a unified environment. The study highlights surviving water bodies as key elements in the city's development, offering insights into their historical significance and functional integration within Derbent's socio-cultural fabric.
