GALLERY: A day in the Old City of Baku
What better way to get to know Baku's soul than a walk through the streets of the Old City?
Tradition, charm, nostalgia, character, soul, history...these are just few of the adjectives that came to mind when I first visited the Old City of Baku. It was fascinating to roam its little streets and explore the buildings and sights it offers.
I'm sharing with you some moments I captured with my camera, hoping that wherever you are, wether you have or have never visited this magical place, they'll give you a hint of how I saw Baku's İçəri Şəhər ('inner city' - tr. Azerbaijani).
