Baku
As you know, Baku is the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Baku is not only the largest city in Azerbaijan, but also the largest city in the Caucasus region, and today, due to its modern features such as European texture and significant development, it has become a tourism hub of the country. This city is also the scientific, cultural and industrial center of the Republic of Azerbaijan and is therefore doubly important.

The city of Baku has a population of about 3 million people and is divided into 12 sections in terms of urban divisions. The center of the city is Fəvvarələr Meydanı, which is surrounded by a multitude of passages, shops, restaurants, etc. One of the most important streets in the city is Nizami Street, which is actually a large and wide promenade, has various boutiques and shops, and is very popular with Bakunshins and tourists.

It may be interesting to know that the name of the capital of Azerbaijan has Persian roots, although there are differences as to exactly what word Baku is derived from. Some believe that Baku is derived from the Pahlavi word, which literally means “city of God.” Others have a different opinion about the origin of the name Baku. According to these people, the name “Baku” is derived from the Persian word “Badkoubeh” and the choice of this name was due to the strong winds in Baku. In fact, strong winds blow in Baku all year round, which has made this capital known as the “City of Winds”.

Other distinctive features of this city include its negative height of 28 meters, which is actually located below sea level. Thus, Baku is the lowest capital in the world and also the largest city in the world, which is located below sea level.
