Inspired by ancient practices of fire worship, the Flame Towers (Alov Qülleleri) have become a prominent feature of Baku’s skyline since their completion in 2012. These sleek, shimmering skyscrapers are especially captivating after dark when more than 10,000 LED lights illuminate their surfaces, creating a dynamic and mesmerizing display. Visitors can marvel at the towers’ modern architecture and witness the nightly light show, which adds a vibrant touch to the city’s evening ambiance.
