What to expect

Maiden Tower

The Maiden Tower is one of Baku’s oldest and most recognized landmarks, with origins dating back to the 6th–7th centuries BC and its current form completed in the 12th century. Now operating as a museum, the tower offers a unique journey through its eight floors, each constructed from carved stone and topped with a domed ceiling.
