Lankaran and Astara

Zindan Tower

Lankaran

A surviving tower of Lankaran's former fortress system, historically associated with use as a prison.

Consider the tower's defensive form alongside its later use as a prison. Ask whether a visit is limited to the exterior; historical use does not by itself establish that rooms or a museum are open today.

Before travelling, confirm opening hours, price, ticket inclusions and interior access with the responsible institution.
