World Heritage
Azerbaijan
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Built on sites inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the walls of Baku reflect the heritage of Zoroastrian, Sassanian, Arab, Persian, Shirvan, Ottoman and Russian cultures. The Inner City (Icheri Sheher) retains much of its 12th-century defensive walls. The 12th-century Maiden's Tower (Giz Galasy) was built on earlier structures dating from the 7th-6th centuries BC, and the 15th-century Palace of the Shirvanshahs is one of the jewels of Azerbaijan's architecture.
