In brief
The Baku Metro opened on 6 November 1967 with five stations, the fifth metro system in the USSR. Today the network runs three lines and some twenty-seven stations.
Some stations are showcases of Soviet monumental art — mosaic, marble, bronze reliefs. Others are brand new, designed in the 2010s.
