What to expect
Maiden Tower
The Maiden Tower (Qız qalası in Azerbaijani) is a structure from the 12th century located in Baku, Azerbaijan's Old City. It is one of a group of historic monuments that were included in the 2001 UNESCO World Heritage List of Historical Monuments as cultural property, Category III, together with the 15th-century Shirvanshahs' Palace. Because it is one of Azerbaijan's most recognizable national symbols, it appears on government letterheads and bank notes.
The Juma Mosque is a Shiite Juma Mosque located in the historical part of Icheri Sheher, 49 Asaf Zeynalli Street. Over the years, the mosque has undergone numerous renovations and reconstructions. The mosque is adjoined by a 15th-century minaret. We will explore the mosque both from the outside and inside.

It was later transformed into the Nariman Narimanov Garment Factory.

The Multani Caravanserai was built in the 14th century. It is located opposite the Bukhara Caravanserai. The Multani Caravanserai was built for Indian fire-worshipping merchants who came from the city of Multan in India
