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.
