The Ateshgah of Baku, also known as the Fire Temple of Baku, is a fascinating historical and architectural monument located in the suburb of Surakhany on the Absheron Peninsula, just outside Baku, Azerbaijan. This pentagonal complex, which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, was a place of worship for Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs. The temple is renowned for its central altar, where a natural gas vent provided an "eternal flame" that has intrigued visitors for centuries.
