    Sabayil Castle

    BakuAzerbaijan1234 AD

    Sabayil Castle, known as the Atlantis of the Caspian Sea, is a mysterious 13th-century submerged fortress off the coast of Baku, Azerbaijan. Built by Shirvanshah Fariburz III in 1234, the stone castle was completely swallowed by catastrophic earthquakes and rising Caspian water levels in 1306. Local mariners and divers speak of phantom lights beneath the dark waters, disembodied bells ringing underwater, and the weeping spirits of medieval defenders trapped in its drowned stone chambers.
