context_page_description: Bayil is a settlement in Baku, Azerbaijan.
context_section_description: Most visitors get their first glimpse of the neighborhood when visiting the area's best known cultural attraction, National Flag Square. Confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records, the flag flies on a pole 162 meters high and measures 70 by 35 meters which makes it the world's highest flag. Baku Crystal Hall, which hosted Eurovision Song Contest 2012, is located next to it.
  The development of the area replaced, another famous landmark, Bayil prison – one of USSR's strictest prisons and the same prison in which Joseph Stalin was kept in the early years of the 20th century because of his criminal activities in Baku, organizing oil worker strikes.  
  The area also contains the main naval base of the Azerbaijani Navy.{fact|date=July 2020}}
