Madein's Tower is probably the first thing to see in Baku. It is the symbol of the town along with the three fires. Located in the Old City (known as Icheri Sheher), it gives a stunning view on the city and Baku harbour once you get to the top of the tower. The tower has been standing there for thousands of years. But no one can really tell how old it is.

There is a story about this tower but it has many versions. But generally it is about a maiden and how she is looked up in this tower and how she dies jumping down from it...

 The tower is open monday-saturday 11.00-19.00

 There is no elevator inside so make yourself ready for a good exercise! And remember; it is really windy up there.
