Baku (Azerbaijani: Bakı, in full: Bakı şəhəri - The Baku City), sometimes known as Baky or Baki, is the capital and the largest city of Azerbaijan.

Population (January 1, 2003 census): 2074,3[1]. About 3 million people live in metropolitan area (due to large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons).

The boomtown, south of the old city, was built after massive petroleum exploitation began nearly a century ago and has interesting beaux-arts architecture. Fine arts, history and literature museums are located there, all housed in the mansions of pre-Revolutionary millionaires.

Greater Baku is divided into 11 districts (Azizbayov, Binagadi, Garadagh, Narimanov, Nasimi, Nizami, Sabail, Sabunchu, Khatai, Surakhany and Yasamal) and 48 townships.
