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 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.
