  Fairmont Baku, Flame Towers

  Take a close look at Alov Towers, an example of Baku's modern architecture Relatively new to the skyline—they were only completed in 2012 the three glass skyscrapers that comprise the Flame Towers have already become iconic. The three towers sit atop a hill overlooking the old city center and Baku Bay and were inspired by the ancient practice of fire worship in Azerbaijan. By day, the blue-tinted reflective towers are impressive, but they’re truly spectacular after dark when their surfaces become a giant display of more than 10,000 LED lights that paint the towers with colors of fire, water, or the national flag. The buildings’ interiors house mostly offices and residences, but also notably the Fairmont Baku Hotel.
