The story of Highland Park

Highland Park sits on a hill above the city, next to the Flame Towers. It offers the classic panorama of Baku Bay curving around the boulevard, the Old City and the modern skyline.

The park includes the Martyrs' Lane, a solemn memorial to those who died in the events of January 1990 and in the Karabakh conflicts, with an eternal flame monument.
