Many of us have passed by the Mirza Fatali Akhundzade National Library dozens of times, the country's main book depository, located in the very center of Baku. In 1939, the library was named after the outstanding Azerbaijani thinker, playwright, and publisher Mirza Fatali Akhundzade. The modern library building was constructed in 1960 based on the design of the outstanding architect Mikayil Useynov. Precisely, the library facades became not only an architectural but also an artistic manifesto of the epoch. On the large terrace, in the loggias of the facades, 15 statues of outstanding representatives of Azerbaijani and world culture are installed.
