Azerbaijan Azerbaijani Bakou Baku Circular Parapet
EDITORS COMMENTS
Baku, the largest city and cultural hub of Azerbaijan, is nestled on the western shores of the Caspian Sea. In this evocative photograph taken circa 1910, the Parapet of Baku, a historic landmark, stands proudly against the backdrop of the city's vibrant square. The Parapet, also known as the Maiden's Tower, is a circular, ancient fortress believed to date back to the 12th century. It is said to have been used as a lighthouse, a fortress, and even a royal palace throughout its rich history. The tower, located in the heart of Baku's Old City, is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. The square surrounding it is bustling with activity, showcasing the vibrant and diverse population of Baku. Horse-drawn carriages and merchants selling their wares can be seen in the foreground, while the towering Parapet looms in the background, a symbol of the city's resilience and history. The photograph captures the essence of Baku during a time when it was a thriving cultural and commercial center, attracting travelers from all corners of the world. The Parapet, with its unique circular design and storied past, stands as a reminder of the city's rich history and its connection to the sea. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination and a source of pride for the people of Azerbaijan.
