Ramana Tower is a castle and fortress in Ramana village, in Baku's Sabunchu district, Azerbaijan, built in the Shirvan-Absheron architectural school. Built by order of the Shirvanshahs, it is dated to the 14th century by historical records, though some researchers suggest the 12th century. Its square tower is divided into four tiers, unlike the three-tiered circular towers typical of the style, and its walls are fortified with rounded corner towers.
