Ο ΠΥΡΓΟΣ ΑΡΙΣΤΕΡΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΟ ΣΗΜΑ ΚΑΤΑΤΕΘΕΝ ΤΟΥ ΜΠΑΚΟΥ-maidens's tower & hadinski's residence

Located in the walled town (Icheri-Shekher) the Maiden's Tower (Gyz Galassy) is Azerbaijan's best known landmark and the de facto symbol of Baku. You can climb its eight floors and enjoy a magnificent view of the old town and Baku bay. The cylinder shaped tower is about 30 metres tall with a diameter of 16.5 metres and walls 5metres thick. Archaeologists estimate that the tower was started in the 7th or 8th century and enlarged in the 11th or 12th century by a Massud ibn Daud, as a kufic inscription reveals. Built on a coastal rock, that made tunnelling under it impossible, the tower as a bizarre projection at the base which gives it the appearance of a retort (closed on Sunday).
