Geocache Description:

The National Flag Square is one of the "must visit" locations of Baku. Firstly, for the former Guinness book of records holding flag pole, measuring 162 meters and hosting an Azerbaijani flag of 70 by 35 meters. Secondly, for the view towards the city centre. The geocache is a nano container. Bring your own pen, and use the spoiler photo to avoid attracting muggles.

National Flag Square e-citizen

National Flag Square (Azerbaijani: Dövlət Bayrağı Meydanı) is a large city square off Neftchiler Avenue in Bayil, Baku, Azerbaijan. A flag measuring 70 by 35 meters flies on a pole 162 meters high. The flagpole was confirmed as the world's tallest by the Guinness Book of Records, but was soon overtaken by the 165 m Dushanbe Flagpole in Tajikistan.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev laid the foundation stone for National Flag Square near the naval base in Baku's Bayil settlement on 30 December 2007. The opening of the National Flag Square took place on 1 September 2010. At the President's initiative, the National Flag Museum was also established and 9 November was declared the National Flag Day. In 2011, it was announced that Baku Boulevard will be extended to the National Flag Square before the beginning of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
