Create your Baku map poster

Baku occupies the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula and is also the largest city below sea level anywhere in the world. About a quarter of Azerbaijan's population lives in its metropolitan area.

The street network arcs around the bay instead of extending evenly in every direction. Older central blocks sit close to the Caspian, with later avenues continuing along the peninsula.

Central Baku and a broad bay section share the 4.0 km radius, with capital streets following the Caspian shoreline.

Pale sand-colored land beside deep blue Caspian water makes the bay dominant. Monochrome gives the low-lying grid an architectural finish.
