The Girls Tower is the city landmark of Baku before the Fire Tower. The tour guide said what the specifics were. It is now unclear. What girl jumping into the sea is just a legend, and said that there is no need to buy a ticket to enter, there is nothing inside. But I still bought a ticket to enter, and there is indeed nothing. But you can still look down on the old town of Baku.

It's a tower. . Before I went, I thought it would be big and big, and I thought it would be like some minarets in the ancient city of Shiva. In the ancient city, I turned to the Girls' Tower.
