Maiden Tower situated in the southern part of Icheri Sheher (Old City) and is a symbol of Baku. The Tower consists of 8 tiers and looks like a huge stone cylinder, constructed on an out- crop of coastal rock, which drops off steeply. A stone dome with a round hole blocks each tier of the tower. A connection between the tiers was accomplished with the help of a spiral stone staircase, laid in the thick part of the wall.
