Symbol of the city
The Flame Towers are more than buildings: they are the image of Azerbaijan as the 'Land of Fire', translated into the language of modern architecture.
To understand the towers, you must see in them not just skyscrapers but a symbol.
About
The three flame-shaped towers refer to Azerbaijan's historic nickname, the 'Land of Fire' (Odlar Yurdu). It is linked to places where burning natural gas seeped from the ground and where Zoroastrians revered fire as a symbol of the divine.
So the ancient theme of fire became the central idea of the country's most modern building.
About
Opened in 2012, the Flame Towers quickly became the capital's calling card. Their silhouette appears on postcards, in films and in city panoramas alongside the Old City.
The towers are visible from the sea and from the historic centre — they link old and new Baku.
