Ancient Baku capital of Azerbaijan arose on the hill near the sea. Beginning from the XII century, in its entire perimeter, the city began to be enclosed with the fortress walls which also put to sea forming a convenient port. This territory of about 22 hectares, limited with the fortress walls is called at present Ichari Shahar, (literally "The Inner City") and is situated in the center of Modern Baku. "Ichari Shahar" is a unique monument of town building art and was included in the UNESCO list of the protected monuments.
