The Baku Walled City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Azerbaijan, is a well-preserved historic core featuring ancient stone walls, narrow cobblestone streets, and architectural treasures dating back to the 12th century. Known as Icherisheher, it houses iconic landmarks like the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, reflecting a blend of medieval Islamic, Persian, and Ottoman influences. This vibrant cultural hub showcases Azerbaijan’s rich history and continues to thrive as a living museum with mosques, museums, and traditional bathhouses. Its global significance lies in its unique urban layout and historical continuity.
