Port Baku Park || Baku|| Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

The Upland Park is situated adjacent to the city square and stretches alongside the Seaside Park. The park was built by the architect Lev Ilyin from local materials. The Philharmonic Garden is located in front of the former residence of the governor of Baku, and is therefore often called Governor's House. The Izmir Park has long been widely called Firefighter's Garden, because of its location next to the city's fire brigade. The city of Izmir after which the park was named, is one of the twin cities of Baku. This garden is located behind the metro station Icherisheher and surrounded by historical buildings of the Old City. The bust of Aliagha Vahid was formerly located in the Philharmonic Garden, but was relocated to this park in 2008. This is one of the central squares of Baku and it faces the fortress wall of Old City to the southern side and borders with the Istiglaliyyat Street to the north. The square was established in 1920 and in 1922 the monument to Mirza Alakbar Sabir was created. Central Botanical Garden was founded in the year of 1935, sponsored by the Institute of Botany. The territory of the park is 16 hectares and houses different trees, plants in both open and closed areas.
