Gobustan: Located near Baku, Gobustan National Park is renowned for its prehistoric rock carvings, which date back between 12,000 and 5,000 BCE. These petroglyphs depict ancient human activities, from hunting to rituals. The adjacent Gobustan Museum provides deeper insights into the site’s archaeological significance, showcasing tools and artifacts from the era.
Burning Mountain (Yanardağ): About 25 kilometers northeast of Baku, Yanardağ is famous for its natural gas flames that have been burning for centuries. This spectacular natural phenomenon, fueled by underground gas deposits, offers a dramatic and mesmerizing sight, reflecting the region’s historical fire worship practices.

Originally built in the 13th century and later reconstructed in the 19th century, the mosque is admired for its elegant design and serves as a symbol of spiritual and architectural heritage.
Mud Volcanoes: Azerbaijan is home to a significant number of the world’s mud volcanoes, with many found near Gobustan. These unique geological formations expel mud, water, and gases, creating an otherworldly landscape. The mud volcanoes offer a fascinating glimpse into the region’s geological activity and environmental diversity.
Fire Temple (Ateshgah): The Ateshgah Fire Temple in Surakhani is a historic site reflecting Azerbaijan's Zoroastrian heritage. The temple, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, features a central altar once fueled by natural gas. It represents the ancient worship of fire, blending various religious influences over the centuries.
Heydar Aliyev Center: Designed by Zaha Hadid, this modern architectural masterpiece stands in stark contrast to the ancient sites.
