Quadrangular Tower, Stone keep in Old City of Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Quadrangular Tower rises 16 meters in height with thick stone walls measuring 2 meters, featuring multiple interior levels for defensive purposes.
The tower, constructed in the 14th century, functioned as an armory during medieval times and strengthened the northern fortifications of Baku's defensive system.
In 2014, the structure transformed into the Old City Traditional Art Center, known as The Tower of Arts, following restoration by local authorities.
Located at Kichik Gala Street 13, the tower connects to other fortification sections through a ground-level tunnel designed for military movement.
The structure contains 108 wells within its courtyard, with the deepest reaching 25 meters, originally used for food storage during extended sieges.
