Fascinating to see how these rulers lived so many years ago and how advanced they were in architectural deign and construction techniques. None of our contemporary buildings will be standing for visitors to admire hundreds of years from no.

Beutifully restored, this palace complex oozes of the rich history of Baku.The palace apartments, small mosques, mauselum and hamam are located in a compact space, helping us walk through the pristine palace that echoed the past glory of the Azerbaijan rulers. Even thoúgh part of the Icari Seher -- UNESCO World Heritage sight -- the place lacks signs and descriptions... More

It is relatively small and you have to wind your way around to see it but a touch of the ancient within view of the ultra modern soaring glass towers. Not much is labeled but you get a flavor that it was opulent in it's own time. Worth a visit if you are wandering through the old city

Really beautiful old building. Was lovely to walk around and be surrounded by the history of it all. But, not a lot of descriptions on the various rooms, carpets, artifacts etc. Great place for photos.

Interesting to see though not much is left especially from the palace. Baths are great as well as historical exposition inside the palace.

You definetely should try and visit Shirvashahs Palace in the Old Town. It has a museum inside, a courtyard, a mosque. In general if you would like to know a bit of the history of Azerbaijan, definetely should see it.

It's a stunning gem but over restored in some of the main areas - fitted out like a modern office block.

As well as the stone buildings which make up this complex, there are many stones with inscriptions and statuary arranged in the courtyards. Apparently, these were largely rescued from an island in the Caspian which has now again fallen below the water level.

This really atmospheric palace deserve a visit if you're in Baku. The inside is almost void but architecture and environment can bring you back to past and dreamy ages. It is also worth seeing the external walls at night while hanging around downtown
