My childhood has passed away, and I can say that this ancient castle is not very birth to me. According to me, from the top of the castle, you can see the whole of Mordecai, which is still one of the most beautiful of the surviving castles. The mosque next to it is also inherited from history to the present day. In the past, for anyone who wants to see the centuries-old appearance here, this is one of the rare finds in Baku, so I recommend that you visit. ”
