The City Walls of Baku are in great condition considering that for most parts , they are alongside boutiques and restaurants without any special protection . We used the audio-guides available at the Tourist information office to get a good description of their origin and purposes .

Historians are not sure about the age and function of this tower-like structure. Was it part of city fortification? The tower is 28 m high and from the top is a nice view of the old city, new skyscrapers and the seashore boulevard. Inside is a museum with modern displays explaining the history of Baku. The entry is 15 AZN.

The Winter palace built in 18 th century by Khan (king) of Sheki. Ticket cost 2 man inside you can take a lot of pictures with English speaking guide.

So much has already been said about this palace that it is unlikely people would still come to Sheki without visiting it. And a truly spectacular sight it is. The beauty of the interior wall and ceiling paintings is breathtaking. There is so much to take in that, given the prohibition to take pictures, I wished there was a nice illustrated book available about this and the Winter Palace. There must be one on print, but I couldn't find any on sale on site. If you can get hold of one, even better before your visit, don't miss the opportunity to arrive there prepared for the wonderful sight that awaits you. Sheki has a lot to offer, but if you are short of time, the Sheki Khan's Palace in itself is worth the trip.
