    Try a baked shadow radius of 0 to see if shadows are rendering and then adjust accordingly.

    Your light has only a range of 3 and that's big enough to reach all of your geometry. So a shadow radius of 1 is already huge compared to your scene.
    Also there seem to be some soft shadows on the ground beneath the altar.

    Thanks setting baked shadow radius to 0 works.
    And one question do I need to disable manualy all baked lights?

    No, that happens automatically when you bake a light.
