Maiden's Tower (Baku)
The Maiden's Tower is the most abundant and mysterious
architectural abuse of Abşeron as well as Baku. The castle is a
historical monument located in the southeast part of the old
castle walls, near the coastal park. The unfinished historicalarchitectural
problems of this
rare tower-shaped
abode are
overwhelming. The
height is 28 m, the
diameter is 16.5 m
on the first floor.
The thickness of the
first floor wall
Maiden's Tower (Baku) 0.3
reaches 5 meters.
The interior of the castle is divided into 8 pieces. Each floor is
built with stones, covered with a domed ceiling. The castle
began to operate as a museum in 1964 - in 2000 - it was
released on the UNESCO World Heritage list. This ceiling is
made of stone and has circular dents. The dial is in the
vertical line direction. It is possible to see the floor of the first
layer when looking at the circular edge of the VIII folding
ceiling. The entrance to the fortress is on the western side of
the entrance, with an arched door 2 m high and 1.1 m from
the previous surface. One of the emblems of Azerbaijan, the
Kiz Kalesi is described many times over Azerbaijan
monasteries. In recent years, the tradition of making Nevruz

Feast festivals has been organized in Kız Kalesi and every year
in the square around him.
Construction
There is no monument that can be
compared with the Maiden's Tower in
the history of architecture in terms of
the fact that the discussions around the
age of building are carried out in a
surprisingly large time interval. There
are experts who claim that the age of
the monument began from the
Sumerian period, as well as those who
prove that it was built in the XII
century. The time difference here is
more than 3,000 years, not a few years,
not even a few centuries, as it is in
other strands of unknown construction
date.

In an inscription on the fortress walls, these words were
written in Arabic: "The tower of Mesut, the son of David".
Some researchers speculate that feudal dominance is the
building of this person's castle. However, it is possible to say
that "the son of Davud, Mesut", is the architect who built the
Maiden's Castle if it is taken into account that such names of
the architects are generally mentioned in such lokanic
inscriptions.
Since the writing style and line of the book are close to the
writing of the XII century, it is estimated that the girl's castle

was built during this period. On the other side, according to
many scholars, the castle was built in this century because it
was used in the X-XII centuries from the Kufic script.
However, some scientists claim that these ideas are wrong.
Since the stones were used in the harmony harmony solution
- lime mixture, archaeologists such as İlyas Babayev and Siyah
Ahmedov came to a definite conclusion. They are based on
the first monument of the first millennium in Kebel. Since the
monument was built with a mixture of lime like this, the
Tower of the Girl belongs to the antiquity. Sara lady verified
this idea.
Medeniyyetd to
The legend connected with the Maiden's Tower has been the
subject of many poetry and theater plays in Azerbaijan. In the
1940s, the great composer Efrasiyab Bedelbeyli wrote the

this myth. The ballet was dramatized for the first time at
Azerbaijan State Academic Opera
and Ballet Theater. The Maiden's
Tower has been described in the
years 1992 - 2006 - 1 and 250 liras,

In 1889, tramway lines were built in
Baku for Baku's city transportation. But
horseback trams did not meet the heavy
transport needs of the capital. In 1903,
City Dumas proposed to connect electric
tram lines in Baku. It took 20 years to
realize this proposal. However, in 1922
the Baku Soviet could carry out the
project. The construction of electric tram lines started in the
city. Since there was no material needed before, the rails
were ordered in several factories in Russia. The first use of
electric tram on February 8, 1924 in the city was opened.
These tram lines are also connected to the city's train
stations. In 1966, the length of tramways reached 102.5 km.

tram back into service. But these new tram lines will be built
along the coast, not at the main intersections where formerly
tram lines were located.
