Baku is the capital and the largest city of the country, in the southern part of the Absheron Peninsula. The capital of Azerbaijan is becoming less and less like that Soviet city from the past every day. The entire old part of the city is one vast historical and architectural corner. Baku is constantly changing, improving, like the history of Baku. Old houses in the city center are perfectly combined with Art Nouveau skyscrapers.
There is no single direction in the architecture of Baku. It includes many architectural styles, passing like a pearl thread through the Maiden Tower of Masud ibn Davud of the 12th century and all the beautiful buildings built during the tsarist Russia.
Among the variety of these styles, the most worthwhile are the Islamic style (the Palace of the Shirvanshahs), the Venetian style (the house of M. Mukhtarov "Palace of Happiness"), the Gothic style (Ismailiyya Palace) and Renaissance architecture (Philharmonic Hall).
The brilliant Azerbaijani architect M. A. Huseynov built all the buildings that stand out in the architecture of Baku. At the beginning of the century, such trends of architecture as postmodernism appeared. It built most of the current buildings and hotels in Baku in this style. The architecture of Baku is transforming. Buildings with a glass shell appear around the city, the most striking examples of which are "Deniz Mall" and "Flame Towers". Park and fountain zones of the city are improving.
