Embankment in Baku length. Secrets Baku: Long Story of Primorsky Boulevard

O. Bulanova

Primorsky Boulevard is a truly sea facade Baku, throughout the almost two centuries determined the face of the capital of Azerbaijan.

The history of the Primorsky Boulevard, including the embankment, who worn in different years different names is incredibly interesting. In 2009, the boulevard century was solemnly marked, but his story is much longer.

Talk about the fact that Baku needs the embankment, it was long ago, various options were discussed.

According to the original version of the project between the fortress wall, which was surrounded by Icheri-Shecher and by the sea, and the buildings behind it were envisaged to lay the street with an unprecedented for that time of the width - 18 m. On the one hand, the street would limit the fortress wall, on the other hand - rear facades of buildings . With significant differences of heights, the new street could not play a significant role in the city and would be an architecturally inexpressive.

Therefore, in 1865, the Baku Military Governor and the Governor of the Civil Party, Lieutenant-General Mikhail Petrovich, a petition of a plot of an old fortress wall, who separated Icheri-Sheher from the Sea coast and "Having interfered with his uselessness to free air movement". The resolution was obtained, and demolished the wall.

However, after the demolition of the wall immediately began to be felt the need for architectural design of the embankment. Therefore, the money (44 thousand rubles) was contacted from the sale of the stone (44 thousand rubles), they wrote the newspapers of those years, - and an elegant stone embankment, soon deciding near beautiful private houses. "

Baku's first landscaping is obliged to architect Karl Hippius, who, by the way, defended the Palace of Shirvanshah, when he tried to adapt to a city prison. K.Gippius participated in the formation of a number of streets and in the design of the first houses on the embankment. Cognacs and historians are well known for its watercolor 1867, where the embankment and houses on it are depicted, including the Gubernatorial House (later there was a club of health workers with a lowered third floor, later at this place was built Hotel "Four Seasons").

Buffalni and General View of the Boulevard (1917)

The Azerbaijan Architect Gasambek Gadzhibababekov (1811-1874) took for the embankment structure (1811-1874). Ancient maiden tower - a symbol of Baku - then played the role of a lighthouse, and it is difficult to say whether this amazing monument would have lived to this day if it were not for this circumstance.

G. Magibababeckov made significant engineering and planning work on the improvement of the embankment, engaged in its construction and summing up of fresh water.

In 1867, a waterstered fountain was built on the future area of \u200b\u200bAzneft (also visible on the watercolor k.gippius) and other structures, a wide pavement was planned, screamed by trees, and between the plots of private possessions - the alleys of 13 m wide. Through them The embankment opened views of the expressive architecture of the Baku Fortress - Icheri-Sheher.

After that, the embankment received the status of the boulevard, which became, according to contemporaries, the decoration of the city. It must be said that the embankment was the object of close attention of the city authorities also because she housed the house of the governor. In 1882, the embankment was supposed to build a boulevard designed by architect A.Kushkin.

But despite all the efforts, the embankment still remained not the most promising and well-maintained part of the city, because numerous private jackets of trading firms and shipping companies with warehouses and other buildings were placed on it, so cluttered and polluting the seashore that even the events held The improvement was reduced "to no".

So, for example, the shipping company "Caucasus and Mercury" built on the embankment of the pier and a number of other structures on the embankment, dividing the coastal strip into two parts: Alexandrovskaya Embankment (in honor of Emperor Alexander II) was located along Icheri-Shecher about the future area of \u200b\u200bAzneft and to the future theater dolls, which, then, of course, was not, and Petrovskaya, who went further along along along coastline.

Therefore, in 1897, a barrier was built, separating a plot of 50 m wide from the sea, clearly denoted by Boulevard as a holistic architectural structure.

In 1900, the garden commission of the city decided to build on the embankment a large nursery of decorative trees on the embankment, and from this moment began to actively landscap in the boulevard. A detailed design of landscaping, taking into account the width of the alley and their length, the breeds of trees, shrubs, etc., was drawn up by a civil engineer (architect) Casimir Zarevich, the Pole in the Russian service, together with the city gardener Vasilyev.

In the first years of the twentieth century. Boulevard had a rather attractive appearance, the embankment continued to be in captivity of the marins and berths. For the transformation of the embankment in an excellent transport highway, as well as to the place of rest and the city park, the city holders took only in 1909, and this date is considered the official year of the "birth" of the Baku Boulevard. As reported by the newspaper "Caspian" in No. 77 for 1909, "on the Boulevard device on the Duma embankment allocated 10 thousand rubles."

Embankment

A talented engineer Mamed-Hasan Gajinsky took up for the noble improvement business; The German architect Adolf Eikler took part. The projects of large pavilions on the embankment in Modern style under the loud names "Olympia" for Sinematograph and Eldorado restaurant, fountains and arbors, as well as stairs leading to the sea are compiled.

The Boulevard turned out yet not very long: the plans of the organizers very quickly collided with the interests of large capital - to sacrifice their docks, warehouses and marins of those who wished. Therefore, the coastal territory, located between the berth of the Caucasus and Mercury society and the Seid Mirbabaeva house, was well sustained, i.e. Actually Alexandrovskaya Embankment. For the interests of the Society "Caucasus and Mercury" no one risked to encroach.

In the future, the amount of allocations was increased to 600 thousand rubles. Material support also provided Baku patrons. The city authorities were announced a competition for best projectIn which about thirty specialists took part, among whom were prominent architects and engineers-builders. There were territories, shrubs, shrubs, flower beds were planted.

In addition, a competition was announced for a bathing project with a restaurant, as well as thirteen kiosks for various purposes. The project of a civil engineer and at the same time urban (main) architect Baku Nikolai Baeyeva (1878-1949), and in 1914, Alexandrovskaya Kupall was built. A wooden bathing on the stilts, according to contemporaries, "attracted attention to its original architecture," she looked like a fabulous summer palace, on the roof of which was a comfortable solarium with a shower. This bath has completely transformed the view of the boulevard.

By the way, this bathhouse is not the first. Before it was another, who was also called Alexandrovskaya. It was built in 1884 on the draft civil engineer and the city architect in 1881-1886 Mikhail Botova (1855-1886). Botovskaya bathing was incomparably easier by architecture, and he dilapidated in thirty years.

The Baevskaya bath was demolished in the early 60s., In connection with the rise in the water level in the Caspian Sea and the partial reconstruction of the boulevard.

The embankment was a wide spatial composition; in combination with the boulevard, the greens of numerous trees (which, by the way, was chosen very thoughtfully - taking into account not only the survival, but also, taking into account the shaders created by them, what modern landscape designers are at all thinking about), this section of the city was very picturesque and was herself The most lively part of it. It is not by chance that the contemporary noted that the most brilliant part of Baku is his embankment.

By the beginning of the 50s. The length of the seaside boulevard was already 2.7 km away - from the ship repair plant. Paris commune to new passenger worm. In the 60s, after the construction of the new sea Port.Boulevard extended (to Azadlyg Square) in front of the government. Then the square wore the name of Lenin. The author of the project was the architect M. Housinov.

In 1966, on the project of this architect on the Primorsky Boulevard, in the area of \u200b\u200bAzadlig Square, a platform opened to the sea, which ended with the banks to the coastline, decorated with parter greenery, flower beds and a cascade of fountains. In 1967, M.Guseynov was prepared new project Reconstruction of the entire seaside boulevard.

Due to a significant decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea, which reached its lowest mark in 1977, as a result of which a wide strip of the former seabed was naked, work was undertaken to create the second lower terrace of the Primorsky Park, where alleys, lawns and fountains were arranged.

The contribution of the Caspian level coincided with the political and economic unlictitude of the 90s. The lower terrace of the boulevard is a walking overpass, as well as the boat marina and the yacht club were flooded, trees began to die from salt water, in some places even appeared the reeds. As a result of the reconstruction work, the lower terrace of the Boulevard raised a few meters.

The seaside boulevard stretching for several kilometers from many generations of Baku People was a favorite holiday destination, walks, meetings with friends. Its green plantings included such a wide range of Flora representatives that it was rightly called national heritage.

Primorsky Boulevard - an integral part of Baku. It seems that he always existed here, without him it is impossible to present the city. In 2009, Boulevard celebrated his age anniversary, and it seems that it is only the beginning of him rich history, because now he is going through the second birth. But first things first.

That was a boulevard one hundred years ago

Baku Boulevard was going to build even at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but construction began only in 1909 on the initiative of the Baku engineer Mammadgasan Gadzhinsky. Money on the creation of the boulevard was allocated from the urban treasury, did not cost without the help of local patrons. The landscaping of the coastal territory began with a plot from the coast of the Caucasus and Mercury society to the house of the famous oilman and singer Haneend Seid Mirbabaeva. Now in this place is the Puppet Theater. The attraction of the boulevard was a swimming pool, built in the palace style, surrounded by trees and flower beds.

In Soviet times, the bath has been eliminated due to a change in the Caspian level. It must be said that the sea has repeatedly forced the townspeople and power Baku, making their own adjustments to the landscape of the Primorsky Boulevard. The next twenty years of the Caspian level was constantly lowering, which made it possible to make the lower tier of the embankment and the open area by the sea, which was decorated with fountains cascades. In the nineties, the Caspian level rises again, and part of the constructed is under water. Floodered walking overpass, yacht club and boat marina. It is necessary to reconstruct again and raise the lower tier a few meters.

By the century of the Primorsky Boulevard, there is no analogues in the world a musical fountain, numerous attractions are restored, cafes and cinemas are opened. A parachute tower is renovated, which, thanks to the unique illumination, has become another attraction Baku.

If you go left from the carpet museum to go left and walk to the pier, and there to spend five manat ticket, then the glowing tower, and you can consider all the embankment while walking along the Baku Bay on the boat. Especially good sea walk at night, last flight Boat makes half the twelfth night. You can enjoy the overflowing Crystal Hall, Fires of the Nagornoral Park, light imaging on the walls of fiery towers. By the way, for ten manat you can ride on the boat in the salon of the VIP-class, with soft seats and a working cafe. But consider that then you will not feel the waving hair wind and the smell of the sea.

But to swim in the Baku Bay, alas, it is impossible. Yes, no one comes to the head - oil spots on the water are explicitly hinting that it is unsafe for health. Alas, the problem of pollution of the Baku Bay to this day remains relevant. This is discharged here both domestic and industrial waste of the city. In 1996, about 5,000 tons of metal and wooden waste were raised from the bottom of the bay - sunken ships, pipelines and other metal structures.

If you go left from the museum of carpet, towards the Hall crystal, then you will see a new part of the seaside boulevard. By 2015, the territory of the Primorsky Park will become five times more, and the length of the boulevard will increase, and now there are regular work on improvement and expansion. Ride on the ferris wheel, look near the wall of the Hall Crystal, created from numerous luminous screens, reach the flag area. The road in the dark will be covered by the bizarrely curved in different directions of multi-colored lanterns: some of them are asleep, welcoming you, others froze the question mark, the third slightly moved aside, as if looking at the guests. You will go straight to the sea, you can feel his smell, lie down in the sun. There is still something very quiet here and very few people. But it is still not worth buying.

The seaside boulevard for Baku People is a favorite place of rest, they come here with couples, they bring children, here are walking with dogs. Unlike most other parks, there are no tables that prohibit walking animals, on every lawn, so you will meet the mass of four-legged Baku People, it is important to walk after the owners.

For children in the park, many carousels are installed, teenagers entertain themselves with rollers and cycling rollers. If finance is allowed, you can have a good time in one of the coastal cafes, if not - just buy in the kiosk, for the embankment, a bottle of juice and a pack of chips.

If you go along the embankment towards the marine station, you can find very unusual sights, for example, the Alley of Cacti! Right in the center of the alley is highlighted and fenced with a significant area on which cactuses of all stripes grow, from the usual flat to exotic Texas, those of the most from which tequila are in human growth. Who and why landed them here? Who came to mind the idea to create a living exhibition precisely cacti - a mystery, but it looks very original. No less original and located a little further fountain consisting of the balls collected into the balls. Tight jets of water dissipate, giving coolness to everyone who is solved near.

On the embankment, you will find a lot of interesting sculptures. The shoe cleaner, bent over his battle, as if waiting for you to put my leg on her. However, this is exactly what tourists make to take a picture. Or a lonely captain, closely considering the Baku Bay from the shore. By the way, the captain for some reason is very small height, maybe a submariner?

Pearl Baku and one of his business cards - the Primorsky Boulevard was not born immediately. Once at this place was the urban wall that defended Baku from raids from the sea.

In the 60s of the XIX century, the wall was not needed - there was no one to make raids on Baku, and she was decided to demolish it. The wall was dismantled, the city of the city stopped for 44 thousand rubles - huge money at that time. On them, the authorities staged a 30-meter space along the coast - a preifune of the future embankment. At about the same time, the original buildings in the Mauritan style began to grow there - after all, it was laid in mainly warehouses with goods, and marina shipping companies. All this was intended for trading with the Persion. So the history of the Baku Primorsky Boulevard began long and rich in the events.

Today it is compared with the world-famous Copacabana Boulevard in Rio and Promenade Desi Angle in Nice. But the seaside boulevard in Baku is unique. This is an embankment, which stretched 5 kilometers along the coast of the sea, and literally tomorrow its length will increase in another five times! Today, the embankment originates at the foot of the Nagornaya Park and goes along the coast of the Caspian Sea, past Icheri Sheher - the Old Town to the Seaport. The most picturesque part of the boulevard is located between the Nagorno Park and the Governor Garden (Azneft Square). This is not a dull asphalt strip under the scorching sun. On the entire space of the boulevard, cozy shady alleys are planted, snapshots, akin to Venetian, broken flower beds, are arranged in an open-air cafe, where it is so good to drink a glass of mineral glass in the heat with a stall, cooked in Azerbaijani coffee and fought in chess. Here, on this boulevard, no one hurry anywhere, especially in the evenings. In the evening, when the daily heat falls, the boulevard blooms. It seems that all Baku gathered here. Walking with families, woven in love in lovers, there is everything. The museum of carpets is particularly interesting, where samples of ancient Azerbaijani and Iranian carpets are collected and carefully preserved.

The museum of carpets is a marina where the walking oil and boats are approaching, they go to their daily path of scenic channels, and at some point it seems that you are no longer in Baku, but in Venice, especially since the channels are built on the banks Houses in the Venetian style, and the openwork bridges are thrown through the canal. Another shock is waiting in the old town. Right on the embankment here comes the symbol of Baku - eating poets of the Maiden Tower. Primorsky Boulevard in Baku has state importance. As a Red Square in Moscow, Khreshchatyk in Ukraine or St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated January 10, 2008, given the importance of the Primorsky Boulevard for the history, culture and ecology of the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Office of the Primorsky Boulevard under the Cabinet of Ministers was created. In accordance with the same document, the Primorsky Boulevard began to be overhauled and reconstruct. The Mary of Baku was allocated.

When the plan is fully implemented, the territory of the Primorsky Park will be enjoyed five times. It spits away from the maritime station to the village of Zych and from the Palace of the Hand-held Games to the Bibi-Eybat Mosque - by 25 kilometers. Today, on the boulevard, a capital reconstruction continues on the boulevard, the green area continues, the green zone is expanding, new musical fountains are being built, the coastline is upgraded. All works are planned to be completed by 2015, and then we can all see the updated seaside boulevard. It will appear in all the magnificence from Baylovsky heights to the dry. Already now the construction of new ultra-modern hotels is here. It is worth noting that all industrial facilities located on the road of construction will be transferred to the city. Undoubtedly, it will improve the ecological situation in Baku - as once the demolition of the fortress wall gave access to the city to the fresh sea wind.

Article O. Bulanova on the history of the creation of Primorsky Boulevard in Baku

According to numerous polls, most Baku residents believe that the face of the city is definitely the Primorsky Boulevard. This is truly sea facade Baku, throughout the almost two centuries, determining the face of the capital of Azerbaijan.

Talk about the fact that Baku needs the embankment, it was long ago, various options were discussed.

Therefore, in 1865, the Baku Military Governor and the Governor of the Civil Party, Lieutenant-General Mikhail Petrovich, a petition for the demolition of the old fortress wall, which was separated by Icheri-Sheher from the sea coast and "with his uselessness interfered with free air movement". The resolution was obtained, and demolished the wall.

However, after the demolition of the wall immediately began to be felt the need for architectural design of the embankment. Therefore, the money reversed from the sale of the stone (44 thousand rubles) was "used to the construction of a pier," wrote newspapers of those years, - and an elegant stone embankment, soon we decide near beautiful private houses. "

Baku's first improvement is obliged to architect Karl Gustavovich Hippius, who, by the way, defended the Palace of Shirvanhakhov, when he tried to adapt to the city prison. K.Gippius participated in the formation of a number of streets and in the design of the first houses on the embankment. Watercolor 1867 is well known to the experts and historians., Where the embankment and houses on it are depicted, including the Gubernatorial House (later there was a club of health workers with an attached third floor, and now there is a hotel "FO SIZONS").

The wonderful Azerbaijani architect Gasambek Gadzhibababeks took for the embankment structure (1811-1874). Ancient maiden tower - a symbol of Baku - then played the role of a lighthouse, and it is difficult to say whether this amazing monument would have lived to this day if it were not for this circumstance.

Talented German architect Adolf Eichler took part.

Botovskaya bathing was incomparably easier by architecture, and he dilapidated in thirty years.

The Baevskaya bath was demolished in the early 60s., In connection with the rise in the water level in the Caspian Sea and the partial reconstruction of the boulevard. Although old Baku People are still regretting the Lost Beauty ...

By the beginning of the 50s. The length of the seaside boulevard was already 2.7 km away - from the ship repair plant. Paris commune to new passenger worm. In the 60s, after the construction of the new seaport, the boulevard extended to the current area of \u200b\u200bAzadlyg in front of the government home. Then the square wore the name of Lenin. The author of the project was the architect M. Housinov.

In 1966, on the project of this architect on the Primorsky Boulevard, in the area of \u200b\u200bAzadlig Square, a platform opened to the sea, which ended with the banks to the coastline, decorated with parter greenery, flower beds and a cascade of fountains. In 1967, M.Guseynov was prepared a new project for the reconstruction of the entire seaside boulevard.

At the same time, Boulevard Ros Washyr: In connection with the fall in the level of the Caspian Sea, a broad harsh band was formed, over which his lower terrace was erected. But very soon it turned out: the sea retreated not forever. The contribution of the Caspian level coincided with the political and economic unlictitude of the 90s. The lower terrace of the boulevard is a walking overpass, as well as the boat marina and the yacht club were flooded, trees began to die from salt water, in some places even appeared the reeds. As a result of the reconstruction work, the lower terrace of the Boulevard raised a few meters.

Today, the Baku Embankment in its former form lives only in the memory of the older Bakuners, but the Primorsky Boulevard renovated in the spirit of modern requirements, which, by the way, in 2007, the status National ParkAnd henceforth will be the pride of residents of the capital of Azerbaijan.

01. On the one hand, the Boulevard is the embankment of the Caspian Sea stretching along the central part of Baku.

02. On the other hand, this is a cult place where concerts are held in Baku, where a wonderful park is broken, a musical fountain is working, street exhibitions are held ... In the end, this is the place where it is so cool to walk and day and night, breathing in fresh marine Hurry.

03 In addition, the boulevard opens a good view on modern city.

04. There are of course here and all the usual attributes of the modern world, such as shopping and entertainment centers

05. Well, one of them is Park Boulevard. Modern architecture in combination with parks looks quite attractive, in my opinion. At the top there is a veranda, with pleasant restaurants, I recommend.

06. In general, it's nice to just walk here. The territory of the Boulevard is a national park, so the state invests finances here, capital reconstructing territory. So by 2015 it is planned that the length of the park will grow in five (!) Times, and will be 25 km.

07. Well, today, in the reconstructed part of the boulevard - good. These species are open from the side of the marine station (where the park begins).

08. My feeling of home comfort, and a careful attitude towards the park did not leave me all the way. Pure, beautiful ...

11. Of course, the colonous plants are delivered here from afar.

12. Not deepening especially in the history of the origin of the park, mentioning that he has been more than 100 years old! In 1909, trees were calculated, trees were planted, flower beds were broken, in addition, a bathing area was created, with special summer Palacewhere you could leave your things, change clothes, or just drink tea.

13. Today it is no longer bathe (floating oil I have not seen, but the tower in the sea is visible on the horizon). But the tradition of drinking tea on the embankment, in numerous cafes - remained.

15. There is a real parachute tower that resembles an oil tower. This 75 meter structure was established here in 1936 as a means for extreme entertainment. So we would say today. In those days, attitudes towards the initial military training of young people were much more serious, and jumping from the tower was quite honorable. There were four marks at altitudes 10, 20, 25 and 60 meters. Parachute had a permanent dome, which did not change and did not develop. Whatever, in the 60s, after a tragic case, the tower changed its purpose, turning into a silent reference point and recognizable urban sightseeing.

16. Several piers go to the sea, some of them have free access, and you can walk along it, breathing in a fresh sea breeze, or caress fish.

17. Or think about his own, peering into the distance ...

18. The pier opens a good view of urban landmarks. Modern business center, with a large exhibition hall, and several small conference rooms, in addition, inside office premises, meeting rooms and a restaurant. As far as I understood, any company can rent temporarily (for a day or hour) one of the premises, for negotiations or some event. Funny.

19. Like or not to like this to us, but now Baku looks like something like that.

20. At the shore itself, the steps go to the sea are located, it's nice to walk, or sit, communicating with friends or with a girlfriend. By the way, I have not seen drinking beer anywhere, or what is puzzling ...

21.Syuda can be observed for Caspian ferries setting in the port. "Professor Gul" and the same type with it, work on ferry lines Baku - Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan), or Baku - Aktau (Kazakhstan). Railway cars, cars and passengers are transported.

22. By the way, the lines are quite busy, the port serves two three ferries per day.

23. Well, not about them our story. Let's go back to the Primorsky Boulevard.

24. The seaside side of the boulevard, we have already looked running. From the city side, there is a view of the avenue of oilmen (or petroleum). This is probably the main street Baku. There are many important objects and attractions of the city. The photo captured the element of the Palace of Government.
