The book will tell you about the most interesting things: about the people of Azerbaijan and their culture, about achievements and traditions, about natural and architectural monuments... Azerbaijan is a former union republic of the USSR, a state located on the coast of the Caspian Sea in the Caucasus Mountains, on the border of Europe and Asia. It borders on land with Russia, Iran, Armenia and Georgia, and is washed by the Caspian Sea in the east. The capital of Azerbaijan is Baku. The country is rich in traditions and ancient architectural structures that coexist well with ultra-modern skyscrapers. The cities are well-groomed in a European way and are ready to receive guests, who are attracted here by a unique atmosphere woven from pomegranate trees, colorful carpets and the aroma of pilaf. It is famous for its old town from the medieval era. The old city is home to the Maiden Tower, which towers above the city, as well as the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, a 15th-century royal residence.
