One of the main attractions of Baku, a business card. The tower is also a museum. There are a small number of exhibits and interactive stands on each floor. There is an observation deck at the top of the tower, offering a beautiful view of the old town, the embankment, and the Nagorny Park. The ticket office is located next to the tower, the entrance costs 15 manats.

A beautiful historical building. It fits into a modern city, making this place the most attractive for walking. It's especially beautiful and mysterious in the evening!

The Maiden Tower is located on the outskirts of the Old Town, near the embankment. It is easy to see from the embankment and find it due to its convenient location. The name of the tower is associated with an ancient legend about a girl who threw herself off it. The guide told us that in our time, local girls inspired by this legend also committed suicide by throwing themselves from the tower because of unhappy love. In this regard, the authorities decided to install fences on the observation deck of the tower to prevent such cases.
In order to climb to the top of the tower, you need to walk up an atmospheric staircase with worn stone steps. The view of the city and the sea from above is simply amazing! :)

It is necessary to watch with a guide, preferably a small group. Baku, including the Old City, is beautiful, atmospheric and at the same time comfortable (except for the narrow sidewalks in the old part, which is understandable, and the passion for steps. Shoes with upturned noses would be very useful for us there.

Another attraction of the Old City in Baku. Next to the kassa tower. For 15 manats, you can climb a fairly steep ladder to the roof. There are stands with information about the tower along the way. The roof overlooks the sea and the city. According to legend, the girl jumped off the tower, hence the name.

Место, куда идут все туристы. Визитная карточка, часть ансамбля Старого Города. Обязательно к посещению, по окрестностям можно бродить полдня, не меньше. Добираться лучше на метро, в Баку безумные пробки. Рядом масса сувенирных лавочек и кафе. Лучше с утра, потом очень людно.

The museum is simple but interactive
If there are no queues, you can look at the internal electronic stuffing. You can take a photo
You can run away from clingy guides
You can be blown away by the flowers in November. The views from the observation deck are disappointing with a lot of flat roofs and that's it. This can be seen on the layout of the city in the palace.
In general, the classic attraction is to check the box and move on.

In Azerbaijani, this ancient building is called "Kyzy Galas". Its history is shrouded in various legends....
On the 3rd attempt, I managed to get inside this building. There is a pass regime for several people and the closing time in the evening is 18.00. It's a shame that visiting this place is much cheaper for locals than for foreigners (3 and 12 manats, respectively). There is a tour guide service for a fee.There is an observation deck on the roof of the tower, which is fenced with glass, it protects from the wind and does not spoil the impression of the view of the city and the sea.

The tower in the Old City of Baku is a significant historical site surrounded by legends about a young girl who threw herself from its height. However, despite the romantic story, this is just folklore that has no evidence. The tower itself, although it does not make a strong impression, harmoniously fits into the architectural ensemble and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Be sure to go up to the observation deck. Despite the high cost of the ticket, it is definitely worth it — an amazing view of the whole of Baku in any weather.

The main symbol of Baku, the plaque on the tower speaks of a possible 12th century construction, but there is an assumption that this is just a reminder of the siege of the city, and the tower itself is several centuries older.
The height is 28 meters, the diameter of the tower is 16 meters, of which about 10 meters are on very powerful walls, a few windows in which indicate a staircase connecting 8 tiers.
From above, the tower resembles the shape of a key.
In the Middle Ages, the tower probably served as a lighthouse with a fire burning from above

we visited in the summer, came straight to the opening, the exposition inside is not very interesting for me, they immediately forgot to open the observation deck, it was hot inside, I had to go downstairs to remind myself, the workers barely moved, there is a beautiful view of the city on the roof.

An iconic place of the Old City in Baku. Every tourist visits it and listens to the legend of the girl. But there are many equally interesting places nearby. It is best to come to the Old Town in the morning - for those who love peace and quiet, or in the evening for lovers of music and vibrant life. Not far from Primorsky Boulevard and the Flame Towers.

Interestingly, many people remember the legend about the girl. At one time, a local resident, an elderly man, told me that the story about a girl is a beautiful story for tourists and visitors, of whom there are always a lot in the trading city, in general, the locals also believed in this story over time, but in the original idea the name "maiden" is impregnable as Virgo.
Virgo, I mean, is a young unmarried girl who stops all attempts by men to "approach" her - keeps honor and loyalty to her future husband.
The maiden Tower has never been taken or conquered by anyone, although it has been besieged many times.
There are many such maiden towers: and they have never really been taken, and named after the sign, they say they called the maiden tower - no one will take it.
Interestingly, these two legends quite logically get along with each other, they quite took place in reality, so it's worth remembering both at once :)

The business card of the old town is the Maiden Tower. The ancient structure has been perfectly preserved to the present day. No tourist coming to Baku will pass by this object. For those who want to climb to the top of the tower, there is a beautiful view of the city.

I strongly advise you to take a tour of the old town or the city in general, and of course the Maiden Tower will become one of the most important topics. It looks very simple, but nevertheless it is quite interesting inside. And very, very ancient. An opportunity to touch the history. And, probably, the most beautiful view of the city opens at the top of the tower

A tower with an interesting history, but more like a legend. Be patient and healthy and be sure to go up to the roof. Protective grilles were installed already in the post-Soviet period. Protection from suicidal and abnormal people. Previously, there was only a beautiful view of the city from there.

The tower stands in the same place, the ruins are also present. The tower is like a tower, the place is historical and nothing more. We walked around and looked at it, it was interesting. It doesn't make sense to climb the tower, it's better to climb the cable car, there are more and better views.
The name maiden tower is just a fake, an invention...
There's a glass fence against suicides.

In November 2023, admission for adult foreigners cost 15 manats. With a ticket, go to the tower and climb the steps to the observation deck yourself. From there, an overview of the whole city. I didn't like that the plastic walls are very high and the photos are cloudy. But on the other hand, safety is above all. Therefore, I had to be sophisticated and photograph the views in the crack between these plastic walls. I advise you to rise at sunset.

It is not worth visiting for the cost of an entrance ticket (15 manats per person), the views from the observation deck in the park are much better. It's not worth it.
The entire observation room is enclosed with glass ~1.8-1.9 meters

The building, located on the outskirts of the Old City, can be said to be the hallmark of Baku. The tower intrigues with its unusual structure. It is worth going inside to assess the thickness of the walls and the internal structure. To visit, it is better to choose the morning hours, when there are not many tourists, the stairs inside are narrow, for one person. From the upper platform you can admire the Old Town, although the view is not as impressive as from the Upland Park, and there is a strong wind.
