The walls of the Old City have been cleaned of vandalism.

According to the information provided to Qazet.az reports by the "Icherisheher" State Historical-Architectural Reserve Department, the walls of the Castle damaged by acts of vandalism have been completely restored.

Over the past year, the Department has repeatedly faced acts of vandalism. As a result of monitoring, more than 70 damage facts were discovered. Some time ago, the public was informed about the act of vandalism against the fortress walls, which is a monument of world importance. The persons who damaged the fortress wall were identified in time along with the related structures and legal measures were taken against them.

Restoration works to remove traces of vandalism on the castle wall were completed last week. The work was carried out by local staff under the supervision of experts with international experience.

It was stated that Icherisheher and Castle reserves are part of the historical heritage of Azerbaijan. One of the priority directions of the activity of the "Icherisheher" State Historical-Architectural Reserve Department is the protection of monuments of world, national and local importance.
