Shirvanshahs and Maiden Tower, became the first location in Azerbaijan to be classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Baku was divided into two sections: IchariShahar and BayirShahar. The Inner City was the main part. Those who lived in the
Inner City were considered natives of Baku. They were in close proximity to everything: the bazaar, craftsmen's workshops and mosques.
There was even a church there, as well as a military barracks built during the Russian occupation. Residents who lived inside the walls
considered themselves to be superior to those outside and often referred to them as the "barefooted people of the Outer City"

It is in an endorheic basin (it has no outflows) and is bounded to the northwest by Russia, to the west by Azerbaijan,
