Maiden Tower (Qız Qalası) – Baku
In the heart of the Old City (Icherisheher) stands this iconic 12th-century structure, approximately 30 meters tall. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the tower is shrouded in mystery and legend. Inside, you'll find a small museum, and from the top, a stunning view of Baku and the Caspian Sea awaits. An absolute must-see during a stroll through the Old City!translated by•August 16, 2025
