Shaghan Castle is one of the 12th - 13th century Absheron castles located in Shaghan settlement. As a result of a strong earthquake in 1841, most of the castle was destroyed. Currently, only one tower exists. The castle was included in the list of immovable historical and cultural monuments of national importance by decision No. 132 issued by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 2, 2001. In 2001, the Shaghan fortress was included in the UNESCO Reserve list along with other Caspian coastal fortifications.
