Bazar Square, Historical marketplace in Old City, Azerbaijan.

Located north of the Maiden Tower, Bazar Square contains stone pavement structures and a cylindrical well surrounded by traditional architecture.

Archaeological excavations in 1964 revealed 52 graves near sacred locations, indicating the site's role as a religious complex from the XII-XIII centuries.

The square represents the Shirvan-Absheron architectural school through its design elements, including an eight-pointed column standing on three-tiered stone pavement.

The square remains accessible through the narrow streets of Old City Baku, with numerous local vendors offering traditional goods throughout the day.

A central column measuring 1.31 meters in height and 48 centimeters in thickness marks the architectural focal point of this medieval trading space.
