Nardaran Fortress

Nardaran Fortress (Nardaran qalası) - was built in 1301, by architect Mahmud ibn Sa'ad in the northern part of Absheron Peninsula.

An inscription on Nardaran fortress, which was translated by A.A.Alasgarzade, says:

But the geographical location of Nardaran Fortress indicates that there couldn’t be a foremost defense. Similar fortresses were built there, from where it was expected to be attacked. Such regions were in the western borders and seashores of Absheron. But Nardaran Fortress was too far from the western borders of Absheron and also its seashores.
