One of the first mosques in Baku! It is famous as a burial of 4 descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.
The museum in Gobustan is famous for its ancient petroglyphs dating back to the Paleolithic era. This unique site preserves over 6,000 rock carvings depicting human life, animals, hunting scenes, as well as dances and rituals. In 2007, the Gobustan State Historical and Artistic Reserve was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
One of the most unusual places on the planet! Here, you can feel like you are on Mars. There are over 700 mud volcanoes in the world, and 354 of them are located in Azerbaijan, making up about 40%. The mud has healing properties and is very beneficial for the skin and joints. It is also used in the chemical industry.
The Ateshgah Fire Temple was built in the 17th-18th centuries on a site with natural gas vents. This temple, associated with Zoroastrianism and Hinduism, was used for fire worship and became a place of pilgrimage. In 1975, it was converted into a museum, attracting tourists with its unique architecture and history.
Yanar Dag, or "Burning Mountain," is a natural gas vent that burns with a continuous flame. The fire, which has been burning for several millennia, is a captivating spectacle and is considered a symbol of the ancient fire-worshiping cult.
Ramana Fortress, built in the 12th-14th centuries, served as a strategic fortification on the trade route between Europe and Asia. With its high walls and towers, it protected the local population from enemy raids and was an important defensive structure. The fortress still retains its historical appearance to this day.
