Ramana Qalası, a well-preserved 12th-14th century defensive tower located near Baku, is best accessed by car or taxi from the city center, being about 15-20 km away. While it can be explored independently, visitors might benefit from a guide or prior research to fully appreciate its historical significance. The climb to the top involves stairs but rewards with panoramic views of the Abşeron Peninsula. Typically open year-round during daylight hours, a visit usually lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, and there may be a small entrance fee (a few AZN). It is often combined with other nearby historical sites like Ateshgah or Yanar Dag for a comprehensive day trip.
