About Baku
Baku's Flame Towers ignite nightly, reflecting off the Caspian Sea below—the city's futuristic skyline symbolizes Azerbaijan's oil wealth. The old walled city preserves medieval bazaars and palaces; the Maiden Tower rises mysteriously. Baku pulses with energy; the Caspian breeze cools summer heat. Modern and ancient coexist dramatically.
