How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.
In brief
Pirshagi is a settlement in Baku's Sabunchu district, some 35 kilometres north of the centre on the northern shore of the Absheron peninsula. Part of the city on paper, it keeps its village history, its orchards and its fishing past.
In the old part of the settlement stand a Friday mosque dated to the 17th century, two stone bath-houses and the restored Tataz shrine. On the shore, a free public beach has operated since 2019.
