Azerbaijan, "land of fire", oil, UNESCO sites and archistars. From the Old City we get a glimpse of the futuristic Flame Towers. However, if you go on Neftichilar Avenue - the Boulevard - the elegant promenade, the horizon opens onto the Caspian.

Ancient traditions and modern rites exist side by side, while the cuisine testifies to the richness of the land but also Persian and Ottoman influence. All the while, the pride of the people of this land recalls their strong identity as a nation. A Caucasian country that has always been caught between East and West. A land of passage and conquest which today, thanks to its new-found independence, redeems a troubled past. A fascinating journey that traces the evolutionary stages common to Europe, which are lived here with different perspectives in the shadow of ever eclectic monuments and today even futuristic.
