00:30The Old City is still the beating heart and soul of Baku today
00:39High above the rooftops, the Maiden Tower watches over a maze of stories
00:44Down here, every turn pulls you into a different century
00:47Workshops, caravanserais, cafes and courtyards all blending into one rhythm
00:53To see how reinvention really works in Azerbaijan
00:56You have to head just 30 minutes out of Baku
00:59To a place that's lived through booms, busts and an impressive rebirth
01:03Balakani
01:04Below the surface, Balakani hides its oldest treasure, the Avdan
01:28Cool stone walls, ancient channels and the sense that every drop once mattered to life here
01:35Just steps away is another landmark of the past, the Agam hammam known for its sand bath
01:48One of the businesses here focuses on bridging that past with visitors coming today
02:02One of the businesses here focuses on bridging that past with visitors coming today
02:13One of the businesses here is the first book, Balakani's common friends
02:16Then I'll show them the love of the noble brothers and the articles of the noble brothers
02:21I'll show them the noble brothers and the noble brothers
02:24What were once faded walls are now a living gallery, transforming the village into one of the region's most Instagrammed stops.
02:33These murals are painted by local artists and they've become such a tourist attraction that people queue up to take selfies.
02:42We're at Chalebi, a gallery and showroom that offers a fresh view of Azerbaijan's visual identity, with every piece rooted in the culture.
02:50The art and design scene here is thriving and it's thanks to places like this, bridging the gap between traditional techniques and heritage crafts, alongside modern artists and creatives.
03:05Azerbaijan sits at the crossroads of three major religions and for centuries people have shared their neighbourhoods, their holidays and their stories. The result? A rare kind of harmony.
03:17So this is one of the oldest mosques in the city.
03:20It's from the 13th century. In 2008, it was renovated again.
03:24Well, as I mentioned, it's a small pilgrimage place and a majority of the tourists visit the mosque.
03:35The Spanish synagogue itself was built in 2011.
03:38The interesting thing is, it is the biggest synagogue in Europe for the mountain Jews.
03:43And the mountain Jews is a community of the Jewish people living in Azerbaijan for more than, more than a thousand years.
03:53So we're in one of the city's many churches.
03:55Yeah, but this one is unique because one of the few Catholic churches, which fundaments, was laid by the visit of Roman Pope John Paul II, 2002.
04:09So we've been to a synagogue, a mosque and we're in a church. There's lots of faith celebrated in the country.
04:16It is. Oh, it's really multicultural.
04:23Baku's modern spirit thrives in its green spaces. It's hard to believe we're in the middle of the city.
04:28But right here, the botanical gardens are beautifully designed and full of colour, bringing nature into the rhythm of the city.
04:41As my weekend draws to a close, I've learned that Baku is full of surprises.
04:47Yes, history is always close, but so is the energy of something new.
04:51And it's that balance that makes this city unforgettable.
