How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.
In brief
The Flame Towers stand on the upper terrace of the city near the Alley of Martyrs and are visible from almost anywhere in Baku. The tallest reaches about 190 metres.
The facades are covered with thousands of LEDs: in the evening flames burn across them, a flag unfurls, waves run. The complex was completed in 2012.
