Azerbaijan\u2019s historical oil settlement – Balakhani village, which is known as the first oil cent on Absheron peninsula, has today turned into unique open-air art gallery, where houses are painted with colorful images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today throughout the village you\u2019ll notice little artistic touches, whether it be a row of colorful birdhouses, a sculpture depicting a scene from the famous film “If Not That One, Then This One” (\u201cO olmasin, bu olsun\u201d), or uplifting wall paintings, all of which are the handiwork of local artists. Visitors can admire a 17th-century \u201cShah Safi\u201d caravanserai frequented by traders and travelers in the days of camels and caravans who used Balakhani as a stopover on route to Baku. <\/p>\n\n\n
