- Mud Volcanoes - Azerbaijan, along with its Caspian coastline, hosts nearly 400 mud volcanoes, accounting for more than half of the world’s total. In 2001, a mud volcano located 15 kilometers from Baku gained international attention when it unexpectedly erupted with flames reaching 15 meters high. These mud volcanoes are closely linked to underground hydrocarbon and petrochemical reserves, which cause gas to escape to the surface.
- Bibi-Heybat Mosque - The Bibi-Heybat Mosque is a historic mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan. The current structure, built in the 1990s, is a reconstruction of the original mosque erected in the 13th century by Shirvanshah Farrukhzad II Ibn Ahsitan II, which was demolished by the Bolsheviks in 1936. The mosque houses the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of Muhammad, and serves as a spiritual center for Muslims in the region. It is a significant monument of Islamic architecture in Azerbaijan and is locally referred to as “the mosque of Fatima,” a name given by Alexandre Dumas during his visit in the 1840s.
