Unfading Patterns of Old Baku Streets VIDEO
Baku, July 10, AZERTAC
“If I Were a Tourist” series: The next destination is several addresses in the center of Baku — Alovsat Guliyev, Bashir Safaroglu, Islam Safarli, and other nearby streets.
Elegantly embellished balconies, nostalgic enclosed balconies (aynabands), artistic murals, and handmade crafts enhance the visual richness of these streets. Reflecting the finest shades of urban culture and the refined taste of its residents, these streets add beauty to the face of the capital and leave unforgettable impressions not only on locals but also on tourists.
The murals painted by local artists span a wide range — from marine themes to traditional national patterns. As you walk through the streets, you encounter butterfly images as if sprung from the artist’s brush, and soon your eyes are drawn to an old house with a gate decorated with symbolic flowers. Every detail carries emotion; every pattern stirs a memory.
Charming souvenir shops filled with handicrafts, open-air mini exhibitions, and the sounds of live street music create a delightful blend of scenery and atmosphere. Here, art is alive — felt, experienced, and shared.
