Historians are not sure about the age and function of this tower-like structure. Was it part of city fortification? The tower is 28 m high and from the top is a nice view of the old city, new skyscrapers and the seashore boulevard. Inside is a museum with modern displays explaining the history of Baku. The entry is 15 AZN.

A very interesting archaeological site where you can see real drawings of the Stone Age, which are more than many thousands of years old. But start your visit with the museum! The museum impressed with both expositions and very interesting audio and video presentations.

The Winter palace built in 18 th century by Khan (king) of Sheki. Ticket cost 2 man inside you can take a lot of pictures with English speaking guide.
Reviewed By Ray_Field - Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan
So much has already been said about this palace that it is unlikely people would still come to Sheki without visiting it. And a truly spectacular sight it is. The beauty of the interior wall and ceiling paintings is breathtaking. There is so much to take in that, given the prohibition to take pictures, I wished there was a nice illustrated book available about this and the Winter Palace. There must be one on print, but I couldn't find any on sale on site. If you can get hold of one, even better before your visit, don't miss the opportunity to arrive there prepared for the wonderful sight that awaits you. Sheki has a lot to offer, but if you are short of time, the Sheki Khan's Palace in itself is worth the trip.

Beautifully presented in a way that only oil money can achieve. Quite apart from the fact that a historically-significant building was removed to make way for this, the design seems antithetical to what is actually quite a serious museum. The contents are, quite simply, fabulous - an amazing collection of subtle art and craftsmanship spanning centuries. Including, at the end, several Faig Ahmed creations which, if I had a spare $50k, i would be very tempted by. The gift shop is of the usual high quality with some very good collections of postcards of the museum contents.

Perfect place for an evening walk some nice cafes around for refreshments. If you're travelling in winter, some warm gears are recommended to counter windy sea breeze.
