What to do and see in Baku, Absheron Region: The Best Monuments & Statues
The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

This monument is the poet Aliagha Vahid. He brought back the medieval ghazal as a poetic form which expresses both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of the love despite that.
