The Place
Baku, Azerbaijan
City introduction
Flame Towers above a UNESCO old town on the Caspian Sea. Baku is where Persian, Ottoman and Soviet layers meet oil money — the walled UNESCO old city of Icherisheher, the Flame Towers' nightly LED show, and a Caspian boulevard built for strolling. Beyond the centre, the Absheron Peninsula's mud volcanoes and burning hillsides feel genuinely otherworldly.
