Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan occupies the eastern part of the South Caucasus in western Asia, with a long shoreline on the Caspian Sea. The Greater Caucasus rises in the north, while the Kura River crosses broad lowlands before reaching the Caspian. Baku, the capital, combines a modern waterfront with Icherisheher, its walled old city, where the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs recall the city’s medieval past. Farther west, the rock carvings of Gobustan document prehistoric settlement, and Novruz remains an important spring festival.
