Tower of Zindan
Tour starts at agreed time from the meeting point or hotel. From Baku to Lankaran is 3 hours driving distance. Our First stop is Circular Castle & Old Prison (Round Tower or Zindan Tower). Zindan Tower was constructed as part of Lankaran fortress and was a crucial element in the city's defense system. Located right past the small bridge leading into the center of the city, this old circular building is hidden by enormous acacias and fig trees -- with only the top tower visible, where branches stick out of broken windows. In pre-Soviet years, up to the early 20th century, Zindan Tower was used as a prison where Joseph Stalin was detained. Though, the building is no longer open to visitors, the guests can see the building from outside at closer range. Guests spend here approximately 15-20 minutes.
