[ShahidlarMonument / Martyrs' Memorial | "Eternal Flame and Memorial Tower" standing on a hill in Baku]

[ShahidlarMonument / Martyrs' Memorial | "Eternal Flame and Memorial Tower" standing on a hill in Baku] — A time of travel to quietly face life at the place where history and memorials intersect — Martyrs' Lane (Shahidlar Khiabani) is a place to commemorate those who died in the oppression of the former Soviet army (Black January) and the Nagorno-Karabakh War. The monument standing on the hill and the "eternal flame" lit inside it are a space filled with silence and respect . ⸻ 📍 [Location] Located in Highland Park (formerly Nagorny Park), it is a hill overlooking the sea and the city of Baku. It is easily accessible by cable car, bus, or taxi. 🕰️ [Visiting time] We recommend visiting in the evening to night. The "eternal flame" flickers during the hours when the sea and city lights are visible, creating a beautiful harmony between the memorial and the scenery. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The "eternal flame" enshrined in an octagonal tower has a quiet presence. • Memorial gravestones are lined up in an orderly fashion around the area, creating a solemn atmosphere where you can feel the weight of life as you walk. • From the pedestal, you can see the city of Baku and the Caspian Sea, and prayer and the natural scenery become one. • Since it is a place visited by locals, it is a valuable experience where you can feel the breath of the "now" as a place of prayer. ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice • It gets cold in the evening and at night, so don't forget to take measures against the cold, such as a jacket or scarf. • It is a quiet place, so be careful of the sounds of walking and your voice and be respectful. • The cable car tends to get crowded in the evening, so it is recommended to go early. • It is a place where you naturally want to stop during prayer time. Taking a deep breath will calm your mind. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Baku #Azerbaijan
