Icheri Sheher (Inner City) is the crown jewel of Baku, steeped
in history and alive with the whispers of the past. It was marked
as a historical and cultural treasure in 1977 and found its way
onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. Three sides are
wrapped up tight in a sturdy fortress wall, while one side throws
open the doors to the Caspian Sea. It has kept its 12th-century
defensive walls standing tall, a true testament to time's
unyielding march. The 12th-century Maiden Tower (Giz Galasy) stands
tall, built upon the shoulders of earlier structures that date back
to the 7th to 6th centuries BC, while the 15th-century
Shirvanshahs' Palace shines like a diamond in the rough of
Azerbaijan's architectural landscape.
