Azadliq (Freedom) Square (Baku)

Azerbaijan / Baki / Baku
 square, place with historical importance
Main square of Baku in front of the House of Government.

Although the legislature had been moved to a newer building on the hill (next to Flame Towers and Martyr's Lane), the symbolism of the Government House made this square the focus of independence protests in the early 1990s.
