The symbol of Baku, Maiden Tower was included into the list of World Cultural Heratage of UNESCO in
December of 2000. Maiden Tower, erected at the coast of the Caspian Sea preserved its magnificence till our
days. The Tower, which was included into the fortification system of Baku, was called “Maiden Tower” for its
inaccessibility.
Juma mosque or mosque in the Icheri-sheher has been functioning since the 12th century. This mosque was
built in 1899 at the funds of Baku philanthropist Khadja Shikhali Dadashev. In the 14th century pagan temple
was converted into a mosque. According to the inscription on the Mosque, "in the month of Rajab in the year
709 Hijri (1309) Ami r Sharaf al-Din Mahmud ordered to update this mosque." In the 15th century, minaret
was attached to the north side of the Mosque. By the end of the 19th century the old mosque came into
disrepair and was replaced by a new one – Juma Mosque. The most striking example of the medieval palace
structures in Azerbaijan is the Shirvanshah Palace complex dating to the middle XV. The two-story building
of the palace consists of about fifty different rooms of various sizes and shapes connected by three narrow
spiral staircases. After excursion transfer back to the hotel.

Breakfast in the hotel. Check out. Departure to visit to the Temple of Eternal Fire – Ateshgah, which is an
authentic Azerbaijani exotic. It is well-known practically all over the world. It is located 30 km from the center
of Baku in the suburb of Surakhany. This territory is known for such unique natural phenomenon as burning
natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up). The temple in its
present state was constructed in the 17th-18th centuries. It was built by the Baku-based Hindu community
related to Sikhs. However, the history of the Temple is even longer. From times immemorial this was the holy
place of Zoroastrians- fire worshippers (approximately beginning of our era). They attributed mystical
significance to the inextinguishable fire and came there to worship the relic.
Procced to Yanar Dag (Azerbaijani: Yanar Dağ, meaning "burning mountain") is a natural gas fire which
blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea near Baku, the capital of
Azerbaijan (a country which itself is known as "the Land of Fire").
