About Ramana
Where to stay in Ramana
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Ramana holds barely a handful of places to sleep. The district sits away from the centre of Baku, so most visitors stay in the city core and travel out to see it, rather than lodging among its quiet streets. The feel is local and old.
You might come to Ramana for the Ramana Tower and the Ramana Mosque, then head back to central Baku for the night, within easy reach across the capital of Azerbaijan.
About Ramana
What are the main landmarks in Ramana?
Ramana is defined by two old landmarks. The Ramana Tower stands over the district, a stone tower left from earlier centuries that gives the quarter its outline against the sky. The Ramana Mosque holds the other pole of local life.
Together the tower and the mosque anchor Ramana, the reason most visitors make the trip out from central Baku across the capital of Azerbaijan.
What is the history of Ramana?
Ramana counts among the older settlements gathered into Baku. The Ramana Tower marks that long past, a stone stronghold raised in earlier centuries when the place stood as its own village beyond the city. Baku grew, and Ramana was drawn in.
What had been a separate settlement became a district of the capital, its tower and its mosque carried into the modern city as Azerbaijan took its present shape.
Where is Ramana?
Ramana sits within Baku, part of the capital region of Baku City in the Republic of Azerbaijan, one of the older quarters of the city.
