Holy Myrrhbearers Cathedral is one of Baku's notable Russian Orthodox churches, a reminder that the oil-boom city has long been more religiously and culturally mixed than its skyline suggests. Its architecture and liturgy offer a sharp contrast to the Old City mosques and modern towers.
Visit quietly and dress respectfully, as it remains an active church. It fits well into a central walk for travellers interested in Baku's imperial, Russian, and cosmopolitan layers.
