Baku Metro station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neftchilar (Azerbaijani: Neftçilər) is a subway station in Baku Metro. It was opened on 6 November 1972.[1] The station was opened on November 6, 1972, in one line with the neighboring stations "Koroğlu" - "Kara Karayev". It is located in the settlement "8th kilometer". The walls of the station are decorated with multi-colored mosaic panels depicting the work of oil workers. The author of these mosaic panels was Arif Agamalov. In the middle of the hall there is a double row of silver, corrugated columns. On the ceiling, cut into cells, there are fluorescent lamps that give a soft, even light. The floor of the station is covered with multi-colored patterned granite and matches well with the wall panels and the elegance of the columns.
