Fountains Square, Baku

Fountains Square, Baku, Public square in Sabayil, Baku, Azerbaijan.

Fountains Square is a square-park in Baku's Sabayil district, bounded by Ahmed Javad Street to the south and Nigar Rafibeyli Street to the north. Its reddish concrete slabs, white stone edging on terraces and steps, and white stone flower beds date from the 1984 redesign by architect-artist Rahim Seyfullayev. A sculptural composition stands in the central fountain, with another group of fountains between the park and the surrounding 19th- and 20th-century buildings.

The site was founded in 1868 and received its current name during the Soviet period after numerous fountains were installed throughout the area. These water features became the defining characteristic that gave the square its identity.

The square hosts regular public festivals and community gatherings that draw both locals and visitors. The Nizami Literature Museum with its detailed stone facade shapes the character and reminds people of the place's cultural role.

Visitors find many shops, restaurants, and cafés around the square to suit different needs and budgets. The area is easy to explore on foot and offers various spots to rest and enjoy.

The square was laid out in 1868 by the Baku city architect Kasym-bek Hajibababekov, and its strictly symmetrical axis fixed the line of one of the first streets of the town's outer district, today Mirza Ibrahimov Street. He built much of the surrounding Parapet himself, including two-storey caravanserais that now house the Araz cinema and the Nizami Museum of Azerbaijani Literature.
