City of Fire: Enjoy 20% Savings at Four Seasons Hotel Baku and Discover Ateshgah Historical Architectural Reserve

The capital of Azerbaijan – beautiful Baku - is known for its ancient and rich culture. It’s the city where centuries-long history is combined with modern landmarks.

Baku is often called the City of Fire and throughout its history there have been some mysteries that helped to shape its reputation as such. One of these mysteries is located in only 30 kilometres from the city centre and called Ateshgah Historical Architectural Reserve.

Ateshgah, also known all over the world as the “Fire Temple of Baku” is an authentic Azerbaijani exotic. This place is magical to some people because of its unique natural phenomenon – eternal flame. The temple in its current state was created within the 17th-18th centuries and designed by the Baku-based Hindu community.

It is a pentagonal structure, with a serrated outer wall and an entrance portal. Built in local architectural traditions, Ateshgah combines the features of ancient altars of fire. In the middle of the courtyard rises the quadrangular rotunda of the main altar temple. Balakhana, a traditional Absheron guest room, is located right above the entrance.

But it is worth mentioning that the history of the Temple is even longer as it used to be the holy place of Zoroastrians - fire worshippers. They attached mysterious significance to unquenchable fire and went there to worship the shrine.
