Alexander Azerbaijan Azerbaijani Baku Nevsky Parapet Space
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historical charm and architectural beauty of The Parapet in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Parapet, also known as the Baku Bulvar, is a popular public space located along the western coast of the Caspian Sea. Constructed in the late 19th century during the Russian rule, the Parapet was originally designed as a promenade for the Russian nobility. The image showcases the intricate details of the neoclassical architecture, with its grand columns, ornate balustrades, and intricate carvings. The Parapet is particularly famous for its stunning views of the Caspian Sea and the iconic Flame Towers in the distance. In the foreground of the photograph, a lone figure, possibly Alexander Nevsky Cathedral's priest, stands at the edge of the Parapet, gazing out at the vast expanse of water. The cathedral, a significant landmark in Baku, can be seen in the background, its golden domes glistening in the sunlight. The Parapet is not only a popular tourist destination but also a significant historical site. It has witnessed many important events in Azerbaijani history, including the city's liberation from Soviet rule in 1918. Today, it remains a beloved public space where locals and visitors alike come to enjoy the breathtaking views, take a leisurely stroll, or simply soak in the rich history and culture of Baku.
