Filarmoniya Bağı, Public park in central Baku, Azerbaijan
Filarmoniya Bağı is a public park in central Baku located next to the historic old city. The space features walking paths, fountains, and abundant trees that provide shade and a natural setting for visitors to move through the city center.
The park was established in 1830 when ship captains returning from Iran contributed soil to create this green space. Its original name referenced a local governor of that period, showing the connection between maritime trade and the park's creation.
The park sits directly beside the State Philharmonic Hall, and both spaces share a connection to classical music and artistic performance. Many visitors come here to enjoy the cultural atmosphere and feel part of Baku's artistic identity.
The park is open around the clock with benches, lighting, and clearly marked walking paths throughout. You can visit at any time of day or night, and the layout makes it simple to navigate the grounds on foot.
The central fountain was designed during a 2007 renovation by a French company and incorporates traditional Azerbaijani decorative patterns. This blend of European design with local artistic traditions makes the feature distinctive for visitors to notice.
