-------------------------------
Baku (Azerbaijani: Bak?, in full: Bak? º?h?ri - The Baku City), sometimes known as Baky or Baki, is the capital and the largest city of Azerbaijan. It is located on the southern shore of the Apsheron Peninsula, at 40°23?N 49°52?E. Modern Baku consists of three parts: the Old Town (?ç?ri ª?h?r), the boomtown and the Soviet-built town. Population (January 1, 2003 census): 2,074,300[1]. About 3 million people live in metropolitan area (due to large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons).
The layout of the oil-rich city is rectangular, only in the oldest part of the city within the fortress walls the streets are crooked and narrow. The boomtown, south of the old city, was built after massive petroleum exploitation began nearly a century ago and has interesting beaux-arts architecture. Fine arts, history and literature museums are located there, all housed in the mansions of pre-Revolutionary millionaires.
Modern Baku spreads out from the city walls, its streets and buildings rising up hills that rim the Bay of Baku. Greater Baku is divided into 11 districts (Azizbayov, Binagadi, Garadagh, Narimanov, Nasimi, Nizami, Sabail, Sabunchu, Khatai, Surakhany and Yasamal) and 48 townships. Among these are townships on islands in the bay and one island town built on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 50-100 kilometres from Baku proper (the so-called Oil Rocks).
