Meeting Point

Main Gates of Old city

- Double Gates near Sabir park

Juma Mosque

Juma Mosque (12th century) – One of the oldest Islamic monuments in Baku, where the call to prayer still echoes through ancient stone walls.

Church of the Virgin Mary and Archangel Michael

A beautiful example of 19th-century Christian architecture in a predominantly Muslim country.

Mountain Jews Synagogue

Muhammad Mosque (Sinig-gala)

A testament to the endurance and peaceful coexistence of faiths in Baku.

Holy Spring of Icherisheher

Hidden in the narrow lanes of the Old City, this sacred spring is a symbol of spiritual unity. According to local legends, it was a place where people of different faiths — Muslims, Christians, and Jews — would come together to drink the blessed water and make wishes for health, peace, and prosperity.

The water was believed to have healing powers, and even today, locals speak of it as a “source of peace.” The spring reminds us that Baku’s true strength lies in harmony — where faith connects people rather than divides them.
