AZƏRBAYCAN · OUR ROOTS
On the western shore of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan’s history lives in its old cities, intricate craft and musical traditions. At our table in London, we share a little of that spirit — and the warmth of an Azerbaijani welcome.
12TH — 15TH CENTURIES
Baku’s walled Old City holds centuries of cultural exchange. Its 12th-century Maiden Tower and 15th-century Shirvanshahs’ Palace are enduring landmarks of Azerbaijan’s architectural history.
