The Historic Allure of Old City Baku in Absheron

#hellohalloween Old City Baku, also known as Icherisheher, is like stepping into a living museum surrounded by the modern energy of Azerbaijan’s capital. Located in the Absheron region, this walled city is filled with narrow alleys, stone buildings, and hidden courtyards that make exploring feel like a little adventure. The Maiden Tower stands tall as one of its most famous landmarks, while the Palace of the Shirvanshahs shows off incredible architecture and history. As you wander, you find small shops, traditional tea houses, and friendly locals who bring the old streets to life. The contrast between the ancient walls and the sleek skyline outside is truly unique. Old City Baku is a place where culture, history, and everyday life come together beautifully.
