National Flag Square (Baku)

Azerbaijan / Baki / Badamdar / Baku

square, flagpole

Massive 162 meters Azeri flag, dwarfing all other buildings around it. The flag is size of half a football-pitch, weighing several hundred kilos, and the construction will need mega foundations to keep the pole upright also when a strong gust waves ashore from the Caspian.

The tallest when it was finished, it is presently the third tallest flag pole after those in Tajikistan and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; however this still has the largest flag.
