📍 Start at Icheri Sheher (Old City)

Your journey begins at Icheri Sheher, the ancient heart of Baku. Through the Double Gates (also known as the Shamakhi Gate), you’ll step into a medieval world of cobbled streets, ancient walls, and historical monuments.

Baku was declared the capital of Azerbaijan in the 13th century after a powerful earthquake destroyed Shamakhi. The Shirvanshah dynasty moved their capital to Baku, shaping it into a significant cultural and trade center.

Here, you'll explore:

The Caravanserais – Multani and Bukhara, once home to merchants from India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan

Historic Hamams (Bathhouses) – used by travelers before entering the city

Notable sites: Baku Khans’ House, the Sailors House, the Chain House, and the famous Cat Home

📍 Visit the Iconic Maiden Tower

Standing tall within the Old City, the Maiden Tower is one of Baku’s most recognized landmarks. Originally constructed in the 6th century BC as a fire-worshippers’ temple and later completed in the 12th century, it served defensive and ceremonial purposes.

🟢 Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, along with the Shirvanshahs’ Palace.

📍 Explore the Shirvanshahs’ Palace Complex

Built after the capital moved from Shamakhi, this majestic complex includes:

Main Palace building

Palace Mosque and Minaret

Divankhana (royal hall)

Mausoleums (including Seyid Yahya Bakuvi’s)

Murad’s Gate and sacred underground Bathhouse

📍 See the Ismailiyya Palace

Located on Istiglaliyyat Street, this Gothic-style palace was commissioned by millionaire Musa Naghiyev in memory of his son. Designed by architect Josef Ploska, the building was inspired by European Gothic cathedrals and took 5 years to complete. Today, it houses the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences.
