Bayat kapy

The second gate of the southern wall of Bayat Kapa, called by the Arabs Bab-el Maktub. The entrance to the city is the main entrance. One of the symbols of Derbent. According to the researchers, they were built in the VI or VIII century, and then were repeatedly reconstructed. Since the Arab times, only the base of the gate has been preserved, which looks like a protruding bastion with two semicircular towers at the corners. Currently, this is only a part of the gate. The Bayat Kapa gate was last rebuilt according to the design of engineer Karpov, while maintaining the old construction scheme.
