Maiden Tower
Maiden Tower in Baku is considered a symbol of the capital of Azerbaijan. Known locally as Giz Galasi (Qiz Qalasi), it is located in the heart of the old city known as Icheri Sheher and is truly one-of-a-kind.
The exact age of Maiden Tower is unknown. On one of its walls is a 12th century stone tablet with a text in Arabic, yet the tower was built much earlier, with various estimates placing its construction between the 1st-9th centuries.
