Baku Old City | Icherisheher | Maiden Tower | içəri şəhər | Baku Old Town Walking Tour

Baku Old City, also known as Icherisheher (içəri şəhər), is the historical core of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Encircled by ancient walls, this UNESCO World Heritage site dates back to at least the 12th century, though its roots may be even older. The Old City is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, including the iconic Maiden Tower, the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, and numerous caravanserais, mosques, and hammams. Its narrow, winding streets, cobbled pathways, and traditional buildings offer a glimpse into the rich cultural and architectural heritage of Baku. This district is a vibrant blend of history and modernity, with museums, galleries, and cafes that attract both locals and tourists alike.
