The Round Tower was built between 1747-1786 by European engineers and specialists who were brought from Tabriz city on the orders of Nader Shah. Until 1970, the tower was used as a prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to some reports, in the early 20th century, Joseph Stalin was sentenced to life imprisonment here and spent some time incarcerated. He later escaped with the help of his comrades. As a result, the prison is now also known as “the prison of Stalin”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
