Ateshgah - Fire Temple
Ateshgah often called the "Fire Temple of Baku" is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town, a suburb in Baku. The pentagonal complex, which has a courtyard surrounded by cells for monks and a tetrapillar-altar in the middle, was built during the 17th and 18th centuries. It was abandoned in the late 19th century, probably due to the dwindling of the Indian population in the area. The Baku Ateshgah was a pilgrimage and philosophical center of Zoroastrians from Northwestern Indian Subcontinent, who were involved in trade with the Caspian area via the famous "Grand Trunk Road". The Temple of Fire "Ateshgah" was nominated for List of World Heritage Sites, UNESCO in 1998

• “Unforgettable Journey Through Azerbaijan with Azada”

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00⸻ We had the great pleasure of being accompanied by Azada during our journey through Azerbaijan in August, all the way to the Georgian border. From the very first moment, it was an absolute enrichment to get to know her. Azada combines deep knowledge of Azerbaijan’s history, culture, and daily life with a warm and engaging personality. She didn’t just guide us through beautiful places – she truly brought them to life with her stories, insights, and thoughtful recommendations. Traveling with her felt less like a tour and more like exploring the country with a good friend who knows every hidden corner. She was attentive to our wishes, flexible with the itinerary, and always full of positive energy. Thanks to her, we were able to experience not only the famous highlights but also authentic moments and personal encounters that made our trip unforgettable. We cannot recommend Azada highly enough. If you want to discover Azerbaijan in a meaningful, inspiring, and joyful way, she is the perfect guide.
