Ramana Tower, Medieval fortress in Ramana village, Azerbaijan
The rectangular stone fortress rises 15 meters high with semicircular towers positioned at each corner of the structure, featuring shooting windows along its walls.
The fortress dates from the 14th century during the Shirvanshahs period, though some researchers suggest its construction occurred in the 12th century.
The fortress appeared in several Azerbaijani films, including 'Koroghlu,' 'Nasimi,' and 'Babekh,' contributing to national cinema heritage.
Visitors can access the upper sections through a ground-level spiral staircase that leads to a three-meter-wide corridor outside the main tower.
The castle's entrance differs from other Absheron fortresses by positioning its spiral staircase at ground level rather than at an elevated position.
