Absheron tour ( Fire temple & Flame mountain )

The Fire Temple of Baku (Ateshgah) is a historic Zoroastrian site located in Surakhani, Azerbaijan. Built in the 17th-18th centuries, it served as a place of worship for fire devotees, known for its eternal flame fueled by natural gas vents. The Fire Mountain (Yanar Dag) is a natural gas fire that blazes continuously on a hillside near Baku. The flames, burning for centuries, emerge from the ground, creating a mesmerizing and unique natural phenomenon. Both sites highlight Azerbaijan's "Land of Fire" heritage.

Based on Persian and Indian inscriptions, the temple was used as a Hindu, Sikh, and Zoroastrian place of worship. “Atash” (آتش) is the Persian word for fire the pentagonal complex, which has a courtyard surrounded by cells for monks and a tetra pillar-altar in the middle, was built during the 17th and 18th centuries.
