Nakhichevan (Azerbaijani: Naxç?van), also called Nakhchivan, is the main city and capital of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. It was an ancient trading centre and some historians consider that it was founded in the 16th century BCE. According to a legend, the city was founded by Noah. The Greeks and Romans called it Nacksuana / Naxuana (from the Greek for sweet water), Armenians - Nakhijevan, meaning "pre-shelter" (for Noah). As early as the 2nd century BCE it is mentioned by Ptolemy as a thriving city. It is spread over the foothills of Zangezur chain, on the right bank of the Nakhchivan river at an altitude of almost 1000 m.
