Yanardag – One of the most famous and popular tourist places of the “eternal flame” in Azerbaijan is the mountain of Yanar Dag. Actually, it is rather a hill than a mountain, with natural gas burning on its slope from ancient times. People occupy the benches to watch the blazing hill in the evening when its sight is most effective.

Ateshgah Temple – The temple of fire worshippers Ateshgah has located 30 km from the center of Baku and was revered at different times by Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs. This territory is known for such a unique natural phenomenon as burning natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up). The temple in its present state was constructed in the 17th-18th centuries. The pentagonal complex has an open courtyard with temple-altar in the center which was the place of pilgrimage for worshippers.
