5 Historic Sites in Baku That You Shouldn't Miss

August 21, 2021 Matilde Konrad

The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

Gosha Gala Tower

Reviewed By igal27 - Rehovot, Israel

The Double Gates portal is one of the main entrances to the Old City. Nice architecturally (fits right in with the rest of the Old City and its walls), and there's a whole bazaar area right inside the gates where you can buy food or souvenirs to your heart's content...
