Incredible and unique wonders of Baku
Within 15 miles (25 km) of Baku there are beautiful places such as Yanar Dag, the Eternally Burning Mountain of Azerbaijan, and the XII century Ramana Castle. Yanar Dag is a 380 feet (116 meters) hill located on top of a pocket of natural gas that constantly erupts into flames. These flames can jet out at least 9.8 feet (three meters) into the air, through a porous layer of sandstone. Unlike the mud volcanoes of Azerbaijan, Yanar Dag contains gas and oil but has no seepage of mud or liquid, so the fire always burns. The flames continue through the rain and snow and are believed to have been burning non-stop for 4,000 years.
Azerbaijan is a nation with enormous oil and gas reserves, much near the surface. Therefore, steady gas emissions from the underlying soils cause the surface of the land to sometimes erupt in flames.
Ramana Castle, a beautifully preserved old fortress that dates back to the 12th century is just minutes from Yanar Dag. Besides the castle there are many oil pumps in the surrounding area.
The Gobustan National Park ( which is located about 40 miles (64 km) south of Baku, is another exceptional place to visit. It is known for the many large mud volcanoes in the area and home of the famous rock petroglyphs that are millennia old – one of the three the Stone Age’s. In 2007, UNESCO awarded Gobustan a World Heritage Site designation for its “rock art” engravings, as well as its prehistoric and Bronze Age sites, ancient sanctuaries, and associations with traditions, ideas and beliefs.

AZERBAIJAN - Mystery of the Sunken Sabayil Castle, BAKU.
✈ ???????? ????
#StarkTravel #VisitAzerbaijan
Mystery of the Sunken Sabayil Castle
BAYIL TOWER in B A K U - around which only legends were wandering yesterday - has become a historical truth today.
The mysterious Sabayil castle has appeared in Azerbaijani history for centuries.
Throughout the millennia, the water level of the Caspian has fluctuated dramatically. From 1723 up until the early 20th century, the sea level was receding. Beginning in the 1930s, it became possible to see the ruins of a castle underwater. In quiet weather, people could tell that the castle had stone tablets with writing on them. Sabayil was no longer just a legend - it was a real castle, built on a small island in the Baku bay, about 300 meters offshore.
How did the original castle called Bayil Gasri disappear? According to ancient chronicles, there was a large earthquake in the Caspian Sea in 1306. Perhaps the sea level rose enough to submerge the castle and the island it was built on.
The Institute of History at the Academy of Science researched the fortress, a project that took 30 years (1939 to 1969). Researchers found that even basic questions were difficult to answer, such as: What was it for? When was it built? Who built it?
The 180 x 40 m castle had a trapezoidal shape that extended from north to south. Surrounding the castle were walls with semi-circular towers that probably served as watchtowers. The castle's walls were 1 1/2 to 2 meters thick, which suggests that the building may have been used as a defense tower, just like Baku's famed Maiden's Tower.
Al-Bakuvi, a native of Baku, wrote in 1430 in his Kitab-talkhis el-asar ve el-melik el-gahhar: Baku has two castles, very strong, built of stone. One of them is very large and on the shore [Maiden's Tower]. This is the castle that the Mongols could not conquer. The other is further offshore. Its upper parts have been destroyed.

Abşeron qalaları
Abşeron qalaları
Hər daşında müqəddəslik, hər qarışında tarixin izi olan Abşeronun qalaları qədim Bakını dörd tərəfdən əhatə edən istehkam sisteminin bir hissəsidir. Zamanın sərt dönəmlərindən keçərək günümüzə gəlib çıxan, sözün həqiqi mənasında, tariximizə iz salan maddi mədəniyyət nümunələri arasında qalaların öz yeri var. Qalaların folklor nümunələrində öz əksini tapması da təsadüfi deyil. Yadellilərin hücumlarının qarşısının alınmasında onların əvəzsiz rolu barədə hekayət və rəvayətlər çoxdur.
Abşeron yarımadasında qalalar XII əsrdən intensiv şəkildə tikilməyə başlanılıb. Mənbələrdə 19 qala haqqında məlumat olsa da, onların ümumi sayının 40-dək olması barədə ehtimallar var. İstehkam və müdafiə tipli qalalara Bakının əksər kəndlərində rast gəlinir. Onlardan biri də vaxtilə Abşeronun müdafiə sistemində mühüm yer tutan Mərdəkan qalasıdır. Mərdəkan qalası Abşeron qalaları içərisində ən qədimi hesab edilir. Tikili dördkünc formadadır və iki - böyük və kiçik hissədən ibarətdir. Belə ehtimal edilir ki, qalanın böyük və kvadratşəkilli hissəsi 1187-ci ildə inşa edilib. Beş mərtəbədən ibarət qalanın daxilində tikilinin su təchizatını təmin etmək üçün 30-dan çox quyu qazılmışdır.
Mərdəkanda yerləşən digər qala isə dairəvi qaladır. Yerli əhali onu Şıx qalası da adlandırır. Qəsrin daşlarında həkk olunan yazılarda onun 1232-ci ildə inşa edilməsi əksini tapıb.
Bakının Ramana kəndindəki eyniadlı qala XIV əsrə aiddir. Tarixçilər Ramana qalasından Qız qalasına vaxtilə yeraltı yolun olduğunu qeyd ediblər. Ramana kəndindəki qəsr Mərdəkandakı qəsrdən fərqli olaraq, başqa təbii şəraitdə - qayalıqda yerləşir. Qəsr üslub əlamətlərinə əsasən XIV əsrin ortalarına aid edilir.
Abşeronun ən qədim kəndlərindən biri olan Nardaranda da bir qala ucalır. Bakının Şərq hissədən müdafiəsində əhəmiyyətli rol oynayan və əzəmətli müdafiə istehkamı olan bu qala dairəvi qüllədən və dördguşəli qala divarlarından ibarətdir.
Abşeron yarımadası boyunca yerləşən qalalar yalnız hücum zamanı müvəqqəti sığınacaq rolunu oynayırdı. XVII-XVIII əsrlərdə qüllələr xəbərdarlıq rolunu oynayırdılar - düşmən yaxınlaşarkən qalaların başında neft yandırılırdı və bununla əhali təhlükədən xəbər tuturdu.
Abşeronun xəritəsinə nəzər salsaq, yarımadada zəncirvari və mərkəzdə səpələnmiş şəkildə qalalar və qəsrlər olduğunu görürük. Qalaların bu cür yerləşməsi sayəsində bütün yarımada bir-biri ilə əlaqəli bütöv bir qəsri xatırladır.
Azərbaycan tarixi irsini qoruyub saxlayan maddi mədəniyyət nümunələri ilə zəngin bir ölkədir. Bu zəngin irsin qorunub mühafizə edilməsi ilə yanaşı, həm də ölkəmizdə turizmin inkişaf etdirilməsində mühüm əhəmiyyəti vardır. Təkcə təbiətimizin deyil, tariximizin daşlaşmış yadigarlarından da səmərəli istifadə edərək gələcək nəsillərə çatdırılması bizim vətəndaşlıq borcumuzdur.
Bu gün əzəmətli, sirli-sehrli Bakı qalaları haqqında danışarkən onlara sadəcə orta əsr hərbi istehkamları kimi deyil, həm də tariximizin mədəni abidələri kimi yanaşmalıyıq.
Hər bir bölgənin tanıdılmasında belə abidələrin qiyməti əvəzsizdir. Bu gün dövlətin prioritet istiqamətlərindən biri də turizmin inkişafı ilə bağlıdır. Həmin abidələrin turist marşrutlarına salınması da olduqca mühüm önəm kəsb edir. Çünki onlar tariximizin daş yaddaşıdır və ölkəyə gələn hər bir xarici vətəndaş Azərbaycanın nə qədər qədim tarixə malik olduğunu görməlidir.
