Monument to Nizami Ganjavi in Baku, Bronze sculpture in Nizami Square, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The monument stands 15 meters tall, combining a 6-meter bronze statue on a 9-meter octahedral pedestal made of red Labrador stone.
The monument was inaugurated in April 1949, created by sculptor Fuad Abdurahmanov with architects Sadig Dadashov and Mikayil Useynov contributing to its design.
Eight bronze plates at the base display scenes from Nizami's literary works, with one plate containing a memorial inscription honoring the Persian poet.
The monument occupies a central position at the intersection of Istiglaliyyat, Ahmad Javad, and Islam Safarli streets, making it accessible from multiple directions.
The pedestal features ornamental carvings that reflect architectural elements from the 12th century, the period when Nizami Ganjavi composed his works.
