Parachute tower in Baku, Parachute tower in Seaside Boulevard, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Parachute Tower rises 75 meters above the Seaside Boulevard, featuring an electronic display board that shows time, temperature, and wind measurements.
Built in 1936 by the Baku Worker machine-building plant, this tower stood as the tallest structure in the Soviet Union during its completion period.
During the Soviet era, the tower served as a training facility where youth developed parachuting skills as part of their military preparation program.
The tower operates as a weather station and clock, displaying essential meteorological information and time data for visitors along the boulevard.
Four distinct jumping platforms at heights of ten, twenty, twenty-five, and sixty meters allowed participants to experience controlled descents using specialized parachutes.
