There are open-air museums in various countries. Here, the exhibits are not only displayed on the street but are also a part of the city's architecture. In Baku, Icherisheher is considered such a museum, and its main exhibit is the Maiden Tower, which is surrounded by the mystic secrets of ancient times.

The Maiden Tower was converted into a museum in 1964. Undoubtedly, it would be hard to find an Azerbaijani who hasn't climbed the tower to take a souvenir photo against the backdrop of its ancient walls.

The image of the tower is surrounded by numerous legends, and it is still not known for certain by whom or for what purpose it was erected. The magnificent and majestic Maiden Tower is one of Azerbaijan's most important landmarks and attracts both the local population and tourists like a magnet.
