History

Baku Rail Station in late 19 Century

The first station building dates back to 1880, with the launch of the Baku-Tbilisi railway. The architecture of the first building was in the Moorish Revival style. In 1926, the second station complex, Sabunchu Station, was designed and constructed to serve the electrified Baku–Sabunchu railway. The architecture of the second building is also in the Moorish Revival style. In 1967, the 28 May metro station was built and connected to the Sabunchu Station by a pedestrian tunnel. In 1977, the station underwent a major renovation, during which a modern station building was built, adjacent to the old Sabunchu Station. In 2017, the station underwent a renovation again.
