    Mardakan Quadrangular Castle

    MardakanAzerbaijan12th century

    The Quadrangular Castle of Mardakan is an extraordinarily preserved 12th-century stone keep located in the coastal settlement of Mardakan near Baku. Built by Shirvanshah Akhsitan I in 1187 AD to celebrate a historic victory over naval raiders, the five-storey tower stands 22 metres tall within a fortified stone courtyard. Steeped in medieval warfare, execution folklore, and dark oral traditions, the tower is haunted by reports of disembodied cries, phantom footsteps on its spiral stairs, and shadowy figures pacing its high battlements.

    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.
