Old Town

This is Old Town right off the water in Baku. It is no longer an entirely walled fortress but most of it is still standing. The inside contains the Palace of the Shirvan Shahs and a maze of steep narrow streets. Its not set up as a tourist attraction, people live and work inside.

This is the wall from the inside. Only the outer streets in Old Town are wide enough for cars and even then, just barely.

This really gives life to Ali and Nino. There are so few people in these pictures, it's strange.
